Official: Minimum wage in Hungary to rise in 2025
The minimum wage will rise by 9% in 2025, by 13% in 2026 and by 14% in 2027, Sándor Czomba, the state secretary for employment policy, said at an event on Thursday.
Czomba noted that the minimum wage would rise by 12% on average in the next three years. The minimum wage for skilled labourers would increase by 7% next year, he added. It wasn’t easy, but an agreement on wages has been reached by the representatives of the government, employers and unions, he said. With the wage increases the government wants to see the minimum wage reach 50% of the average wage by January 1, 2027, he added.
