December 8, 2025

Marinos Mousiouttas has taken on his duties as the new Minister of Labor and must immediately address the renewal of the minimum wage. This legacy is significant, as many previous ministers have played a crucial role in the Ministry of Labor. There are major discussions regarding the determination of the minimum wage, involving trade unions and employers. The gross minimum monthly wage in Cyprus has been set at 1,000 euros starting January 1, 2024, with references to reduced amounts for workers who have not completed six months of full-time employment. A decision must be reached by the end of the month.
