Corficolombiana proposes an 8.0% minimum wage increase for 2027
A report from Corficolombiana's economic research team says the 2027 minimum wage adjustment should use as reference the inflation expected at the end of 2026, at 6.8%, and an estimated 1.2% growth in total factor productivity. Under those assumptions, the technically desirable increase would be 8.0%. The report warns that a disproportionate raise would add pressure on prices and labor costs, and calls for reviewing whether the minimum wage remains an adequate reference for the country's productive conditions.
