Balgarianovinite.com After the process of drafting amendments to the Ordinance on the Structure and Organization of Wages is finalized, a new mechanism for determining the minimum wage in Bulgaria is expected to be adopted by the end of August. The mechanism should be used to set the minimum wage for 2027 by the end of September 2026, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Galab Donev told a briefing on Wednesday.
He added: “We have unanimously adopted the criteria for determining the national minimum wage.” An assessment of the adequacy of the minimum wage and the reference values used in assessing it should be carried out once every four years. The working group has set the reference value at 50% of the average basic wage, Donev said.
According to Labour and Social Policy Minister Nataliya Efremova, talks on the formula for determining the most appropriate minimum wage are due to take place later this week. Participants will also discuss what data is required to form the basis for developing specific indicators for the criteria. It has been agreed that the criteria should include the purchasing power of statutory minimum wages, taking into account the cost of living, the general level of wages and their distribution, the rate of wage growth, and the long-term levels and trends in national productivity, Efremova said. 2027 Minimum Wage Should Become Known by End-September This Year 2026 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2026-08-12 19:24:22 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
