Average salaries in Republika Srpska (RS), Bosnia's Serb-dominated semi-autonomous entity, can hardly cover even a half of the consumer basket of a four-member family living in the entity.

The RS consumer basket for a four-member family in Republika Srpska is worth 1,883.17 BAM (962.850 EUR) this year, while the average salary in the entity is 840 BAM (429.485 EUR).

Only 44,61 percent of that consumer basket value can be covered with that average salary.

The highest salaries, 1.352 BAM (691.267 EUR) in average, were paid out in the financial and insurance sector in April this year, but they are lower than what was paid out a month earlier by 0,81 percent.

The lowest April salaries were paid out in the catering industry, with an average of 557 BAM (284.790 EUR).
