Yolanda Díaz sets a starting point for raising the minimum wage in 2025: at least inflation. “The mandate is that it does not lose purchasing power,” said the second vice president and Minister of Labor this Tuesday. This means that Díaz intends to raise the minimum wage by at least 2.8%, which would take the SMI from the current 1,134 euros per month to 1,166 gross euros per month.
The Minister of Labor has announced this reference at the starting signal of the debate on how much the minimum wage should rise in 2025. This Tuesday, the new commission of experts that advises the Ministry on this matter began its work, to which Díaz has assigned several tasks.
“The mandate of the Commission is the non-loss of purchasing power. From there, let them work,” Yolanda Díaz responded about the assignment to the specialists by her Ministry.
Labor Sources specify that the inflation reference they use is “the average for the year”, which stands at 2.8% at the moment. This indicator is the one used to increase pensions since the reform approved by the Government in the last legislature, which once again linked the annual increase in benefits to the CPI.
