The German cabinet approved a two-stage increase in the statutory minimum wage, raising it from €12.82 to €13.90 at the start of next year and to €14.60 on January 1, 2027. About six million workers will benefit from the rise, the largest since Germany introduced a minimum wage a decade ago. An independent commission of economists, trade union leaders and employer representatives recommended the increase in June. The hikes fall short of the €15-per-hour target cited in the coalition agreement, prompting some SPD politicians to advocate bypassing the commission to mandate €15, a proposal criticized by conservative coalition partners.
