Why it matters
The Ministry of Labor and Social Policy stated that the proposed increase is intended to encourage labor market activity, reduce income inequality, and improve people's purchasing power and standard of living in Bulgaria. The minimum wage applies to a standard eight-hour working day over a five-day week.
