Decision on Minimum Wage at the Cabinet Meeting

December 23, 2025

The Cabinet is meeting today to decide on the minimum wage, with the Minister of Labor having reached a proposal. Trade unions are expressing their dissatisfaction with government proposals that seemingly do not meet their expectations. The suggested amount is likely to be higher than 1,000 euros but lower than 1,125 euros. There are also disagreements about the calculation of the minimum wage and which year should be taken as a reference. The decisions are expected to be made before Christmas.
