Indexation is a technique to adjust income payments by means of a price index, in order to maintain the purchasing power of the public after inflation.
When a government decides to index wages of government employees to inflation it is to transfer the risk of inflation away from government workers onto the government. Such a policy is to attempt to reduce inflationary expectation and in turn inflation when it is rising rapidly.
