Bulgaria has set its minimum wage for 2027 at 660 euros, a 6.4% increase, while Romania is still evaluating options for its minimum wage increase next year. The current minimum wage in Romania is 4,325 lei, with three proposed scenarios for 2027 ranging from 4,593 to 5,079 lei. Unions in Romania are advocating for a minimum wage of at least 5,000 lei due to inflation concerns. Bulgaria's new wage calculation mechanism considers purchasing power, wage levels, salary growth rates, and productivity, with evaluations every three years. The Bulgarian government retains the final decision on the minimum wage, regardless of union agreements.
