The Spanish Ministry of Labor's team of experts has recommended a 4.9% increase in the minimum interprofessional salary (SMI) for 2027. This would raise the SMI from 1,221 euros to 1,281 euros in 14 payments. The recommendation is a monthly increase of 60 euros, in line with the annual evolution of prices. The proposal is a preliminary step to negotiations with unions and employers, with unions seeking a 7% increase and business leaders criticizing the ministry's haste. The government aims to raise the minimum salary before the November 29 elections.
