  "account": "The Ministry of Labor has given the academic committee until October 31 or after All Saints Day to submit a report recommending the 2027 minimum wage increase. This is to ensure the purchasing power of the wage is maintained, matching at least the Consumer Price Index (IPC) which accelerated to 4.9% in September. The deadline was set by the government to have a revaluation figure before the November 29 elections. Once the Academic Advisory Committee for the Analysis of the Interprofessional Minimum Wage - the official name of the expert panel - releases its proposal, Labor Secretary Yolanda Díaz will convene a social dialogue table with employers and unions to reach consensus on the increase. These are the timelines the Executive branch is working with. This allows the increase to be approved before the elections or, alternatively, if the proposal amount is known, it could be finalized at the expense of election results. However, Díaz confirmed at the press conference presenting the experts' work that the academics' mandate is to ensure the minimum wage does not lose purchasing power within the parameters of the law - meaning it will rise at least in line with the IPC. Two scenarios are now possible, with September's IPC median predicted at 3.6% to 3.7% for the 12 months of 2026. But price hikes for the basket of goods have accelerated sharply in recent months, bringing the median IPC to 4.9% in September. Díaz notes one new mandate for the experts this year is to assess the impact of the interprofessional minimum wage on the incomes of the most vulnerable households, which could bring the proposed increase closer to the year-end IPC rather than the monthly average.",
