LONDON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Sterling was a touch firmer against the euro and dollar on Monday after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak sacked his interior minister, Suella Braverman

LONDON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Strong pay growth in Britain's private sector will be matched in the public sector in the year ahead, according to a survey which showed no sign of an easing of inflationary heat in the jobs market.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) said employers in the private and public sectors both planned 5% pay rises, meaning public workers were on course for their biggest pay rise since CIPD began its surveys in 2012.

The Sept. 18-Oct. 8 survey of 2,000 employers took place after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak offered a pay rise of more than 6% to teachers, doctors and other public workers in July.

The Bank of England expects wage growth of 4.25% next year, a big part of its decision to keep interest rates at a 15-year high of 5.25% despite a fall in headline inflation and signs of stagnation in the economy.

The CIPD survey showed 51% of public-sector employers reported hard-to-fill vacancies compared to 38% of private-sector employers.

The FTSE 100 is expected to open higher as investors look ahead of inflation readings in the UK and US this week.

The UK economy grew modestly in September and better than economists had expected, figures from the Office for National Statistics showed.

The ONS said monthly real gross domestic product grew 0.2% in September, following growth of 0.1% in August, which was revised down from growth of 0.2% before.

Economists had projected zero growth in the period.

But looking at the broader picture, GDP showed no growth in the three months to September.
