Trabajo prepara una subida del salario mínimo antes de las elecciones que rondará el 5%

Yolanda Díaz, as Minister of Labor, has taken the lead in proposing an increase to the interprofessional minimum wage (SMI), with the aim of having it implemented before the upcoming general elections. Unlike pension increases, which are scheduled post-election, Díaz's department is clear that the SMI raise for 2027 should occur before the polls.

The exact percentage increase remains undisclosed, but industry experts' recommendations suggest a rise of approximately 5%, aligning with current inflation rates. This proposal would fall short of the 7% increase advocated by CC OO and UGT, while the employers' association has not set a specific figure but expresses concern over a potential 1,221 euro gross increase over 14 paychecks before September 29.
