The Romanian Minister of Labor announced discussions on reducing taxes instead of increasing the minimum wage. Proposals include shifting social contributions from employees to employers. The aim is to enhance net incomes for minimum wage workers without raising gross salaries. Consultations with business representatives and unions are ongoing, focusing on the impact of energy costs on competitiveness. The government is set to determine the minimum wage for 2027, with unions advocating for a wage above 5,000 lei, while businesses oppose further increases due to existing financial burdens.
