Colombia's 2027 minimum wage debate starts from a technical increase near 8%
Negotiations over Colombia's 2027 minimum wage between the government, business groups and unions will use inflation and productivity as references. Technical estimates point to an increase of between 8% and 9%, based on projected inflation of 6.8% at the end of 2026 and labor productivity of 1.2%. An 8% rise would take the current minimum of $1,750,905 to about $1.89 million a month, excluding transport allowance. Concertation meetings would take place toward the end of November and the process must be resolved by December 15 at the latest.
