Salariul minim în România, printre cele mai mici din UE, chiar și după majorarea din 1 iulie. Doar în două țări este venit mai mic

Romania's minimum wage remains among the lowest in the EU, despite a recent increase. As of July 2026, it stands at 825 euros, with only Bulgaria and Latvia having lower wages. The increase of 6.8% raised the minimum wage to 4,325 lei. While Romania has seen significant growth in minimum wage over the past decade, it still lags behind Western European countries. The disparity in wages is influenced by various economic factors, including productivity and living costs. Five EU countries do not have a national minimum wage, relying instead on collective agreements.
