The minimum wage remains at BGN 650 until the end of March




Deputies in the 47th National Assembly


BGN 650 will be the minimum wage in Bulgaria at least until the end of March, despite the commitment of the four-party coalition to become at least BGN 700.

This became clear after the budget committee of the National Assembly approved the extension of last year’s state budget until the end of March, and the deputies will consider it in the hall tomorrow as the first item on the agenda in the plenary session.

The draft Budget 2022 is expected to be submitted to parliament by the end of the month and adopted by the end of February. Due to the short time available to the Ministry of Finance, the draft will reflect the main policies set out in the coalition agreement, and in the middle of the year, the budget will be updated.

Thus, in practice, the amount of the minimum wage, the maximum insurance income, unemployment benefits and others are maintained until the end of March.

Between first and second reading will be a proposal to compensate for lower January pensions than in December.
