The aim is to maintain labor peace, says Marinos Mousioutas

Commenting on the reactions of the social partners, the Minister of Labour, Marinos Mousioutas, stated that the government arrived at the rate of 8.8% for the increase of the minimum wage, judging that it will maintain labor peace and the balance of employers and employees.

He noted that within January, discussions will begin in the labor advisory body for the next revision of the minimum wage, so that the parties involved can reach an agreement.

Mr. Musiouttas emphasized that the discussion will concern, among other things, the hourly performance of the minimum wage and will not start in the fifth quarter of the next two years, but in the first fortnight of January.

Regarding the pension reform, he said that the government aims to have it approved and implemented within 2026.

The goal of the reform, Marinos Mousioutas underlined, is to increase pensions through the creation of a modern pension system.
