An increase of 300 lei in the minimum gross salary would result in only 100 lei net for employees, while employers would face a 311 lei rise in costs. The analysis by IMM Romania highlights that small businesses would be particularly affected, with profit margins potentially decreasing by 12-18%. The study indicates that the additional salary costs could reach up to 10.9 billion lei annually, with the government benefiting from increased tax revenues. IMM Romania suggests freezing the minimum wage to maintain competitiveness and proposes reducing labor taxation as a solution to increase employee incomes without burdening employers further.
