Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis chaired a meeting on Friday at the Maximos Mansion and announced that from April 1, the minimum monthly wage will increase to 780 euros, ANA reports.
He noted that he has no illusions and knows that “this new increase obviously does not solve the problem. Certainly, however, it offers a very important relief and shows our intention to upgrade salaries, both in the public and in the private sector.”
“So from April 1, it will reach 780 euros from 650 euros in 2019. Which means that since that time, almost three additional salaries have been added annually to the income of approximately 600,000 workers,’ the prime minister pointed out and added:
The new rise will obviously affect unemployment benefits and all the benefits associated with the minimum wage. The Minister of Labour will elaborate on all this in detail shortly.
