“Our country – thanks to the dynamic growth of the economy that we have achieved in recent years – is gradually converging with Europe in terms of incomes” says the Prime Minister
Post on the occasion of raising the minimum wage which comes into force from today, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said.
In detail it states:
“From today the minimum wage rises to 780 euros, the highest level that has been found historically to date. Thus, at the end of the month, 585,000 working fellow citizens will see their salary increase.
From 2019, when we took over the government, the total increase in the minimum wage reaches 20%.
I am well aware that wages in our country are still low. Obviously the new increase doesn’t solve the problem by itself.
But our country – thanks to the dynamic growth of the economy that we have achieved in recent years – is gradually converging with Europe in terms of income. Among the 22 European countries that have a minimum wage, Greece is currently in 10th place. This convergence must not be stopped.
Our big bet for the next four years is the even more dynamic increase in the incomes of all citizens, as long as the Greek people trust us again in the governance of the country”.
