Negotiations to set Colombia's minimum wage for 2027 will range between an increase close to 8%, based on inflation and productivity, and one above 10% due to political and union pressure. The Labor Ministry aims to bring economic variables back into the formula: 6.8% inflation and 1.2% productivity. Banco de Bogotá economists calculate an 8% technical increase and expect a final decision of 8.5%, which would put the minimum wage at about $1.89 million per month without transport allowance.
