Greece’s minimum wage will rise to 920 euros per month starting April 1, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced at the start of the Cabinet meeting at the Maximos Mansion. The increase of 40 euros from the current 880 euros marks the sixth adjustment since 2022.
Mitsotakis emphasized that the rise benefits not only minimum wage earners but also public sector employees, wage scales, and various social benefits, reinforcing the government’s commitment to supporting households amid ongoing economic challenges. The administration has also set targets for 2027: a median wage of 1,500 euros and a basic wage of 950 euros.
During the Cabinet session, Mitsotakis highlighted the importance of internal stability and unity in projecting Greece’s national strength internationally. He urged leaders and citizens to focus on major issues rather than political distractions in a rapidly changing global environment.
The Cabinet’s agenda included updates on foreign policy from Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis, proposals on labor and social security by Labor Minister Niki Kerameos and Finance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis, and several legislative initiatives spanning migration, cultural heritage protection, consumer credit, digital infrastructure, and education reforms.
A press conference by the Ministry of Labor is scheduled for 3:00 PM to provide further details on the implementation of the new minimum wage and related measures.
