Increase of Minimum Wage to 1,088 Euros for 2026-2027
December 24, 2025
The government has decided to raise the National Minimum Wage to 1,088 euros for the next two years to keep up with economic growth and inflation. However, this decision has sparked reactions from both unions and employers. Unions see the increase as insufficient, as it does not meet the 'magic number' of 1,125 euros. Meanwhile, employers are concerned about the economic impact of this rise. Nevertheless, the government emphasizes that the increase is necessary to improve workers' conditions.
