The government is analyzing the freezing of the minimum wage for 2026, despite the unions' pressures for an increase.

According to some government sources, the minimum wage in the economy could be frozen in 2026, with the Executive working on an emergency ordinance to maintain the current level without increases. This decision comes in a tense context, with unions demanding salary increases due to rising prices and loss of purchasing power, while employers argue that an increase would affect the business environment, especially small and medium-sized companies.

Discussions on this topic will take place within the National Tripartite Council, where the Government, employers, and employee representatives will negotiate salary policies. The outcome of these discussions will influence the final decision regarding the minimum wage. In parallel, the Government is working on the state budget for 2026 and on administrative reforms aimed at reducing public spending.
