Minimum wage will rise by 9 percent in 2025

The minimum wage would rise by 12 percent on average in the next three years.

Hungary’s minimum wage will rise by 9 percent in 2025, by 13 percent in 2026 and by 14 percent in 2027.

Sándor Czomba, the state secretary for employment policy, noted that the minimum wage would rise by 12 percent on average in the next three years.

The minimum wage for skilled laborers would increase by 7 percent 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 percent of the average wage by January 1, 2027, he added.
