Cambodia’s National Council on Minimum Wage recently started discussions regarding the annual rise of
monthly minimum wage for the garment, footwear and travel goods industry for next year. The representatives of employers and employees are yet to propose their respective figures for the negotiations as they require more internal discussions.
The council presented key statistical updates on socio-economic criteria to form the basis for the 2023 minimum wage talks, and also received inputs like current inflation, competition and market situation from the representatives of employers and employees.
The monthly minimum wage for the sector is $194 in 2022, an increase from $192 in 2021. However, workers have got fringe benefits like a transport and housing allowance of $7 and a regular attendance bonus of $10 per month.
