Azerbaijan may raise minimum wage from January 2027, says MP Aydin Huseynov

Azerbaijan's minimum wage could be increased from January 2027, according to Aydin Huseynov, a member of the Economic Policy, Industry and Entrepreneurship Committee of the Milli Majlis. He made the statement in an interview with Modern.az.

According to the deputy, the amount of the increase will be determined by taking into account inflation indicators as well as price growth forecasts for next year. Huseynov said that changes to the minimum wage also affect other wages and provide the basis for redetermining salaries under the unified tariff schedule.

He also noted that wage increases will affect the amounts of pensions and social benefits. It was recalled that Azerbaijan's minimum monthly wage was set at 400 manat from January 1, 2025.
