Latvia: 2027 minimum monthly wage not yet fixed — planned €820, Ministry of Welfare proposes €835
Latvia's minimum monthly wage is expected to rise again on 1 January 2027, but the exact figure is still undecided: government multi-year planning assumed €820, while the Ministry of Welfare's updated calculation suggests €835. The Cabinet of Ministers typically finalises the following year's figure in the autumn budget round.
