Greece is preparing to raise its minimum wage again, with a new rate expected to take effect on April 1, 2025. This would mark the fourth consecutive annual increase since 2022, following the government’s commitment to steadily improve incomes after a decade of austerity.

The new minimum wage is set at 780 euros, as announced by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

As of Sunday, May 1, the basic wage will increase by 7.5 pct, on top of the 2 pct increase introduced in January 2022, rising to 713 euros per month from 663 euros previously. The corresponding minimum daily wage will increase to 31.85 euros from 29.62 euros.
