Labor Minister Kostis Hatzidakis announced an increase in the minimum wage in 2022.
As he explained, speaking on the Open channel, the increase will be made taking into account the development of the Greek economy, while he stressed that the goal of the government is to provide growth prospects, especially for the low-paid.
“Other amendments will be made to the size of the minimum wage, but this will happen from the new year, given that the economy is developing. We are interested in the social development of low-paid workers. It’s obvious, ”he said.
“I’m talking about a new increase in the minimum wage. But this will happen only after the procedures provided for by law. That is, consultations with social institutions and with BoG – research institutes will be held again. Only after that will the Minister of Labor be able to submit his proposals to the authorities for consideration, ”he added.
