Paul Aparaschivei, executive director of the Concordia employers' confederation, stated that discussions about increasing the minimum wage should not focus on January 2027. He emphasized the need for rational dialogue based on data, as recent minimum wage increases have not aligned with productivity growth. The business environment is currently affected by declining consumption, particularly in retail, leading to significant losses for producers. Any decisions regarding wage increases or economic stimulation must be data-driven, not based on emotions.
