Is an Increase in Minimum Wage Possible

The government has published the Budget Declaration project for 2026-2028, which proposes to increase the minimum wage by 685 UAH. Novyny.LIVE journalist Nastya Reign accordingly asked the chairman of the Committee of Economists of Ukraine Andriy Novak about this issue.

'To ensure the growth of the minimum wage and not increase taxes, one can only rely on the inflationary effect. That is, due to inflation, there is an increase in revenues from taxes, excise duties, fees, and customs,' — explained Novak.

In other words, an increase in the minimum wage may only lead to a nominal rise, as inflation is likely to offset this growth.
