President López Obrador has announced plans for another increase in Mexico's national minimum wage in 2023, which he expects to be around 20%.
AMLO made the announcement during a speech at Mexico City's zócalo on Sunday, in which he presented the achievements of his fourth year in office during a rally to support the government.
"In a few more days, the increase in the minimum wage for next year will be announced; I want it to be agreed unanimously between the workers, business sectors and the government," he said.
Discussions about the proposal have been taking place in the National Minimum Wage Commission (Conasami) since Thursday.
The current minimum wage is 172.87 pesos (US $8.95) per day across most of the country, and 260.34 pesos (US $13.47) in the Free Trade Zone on the U.S. border. The business sector has proposed an increase of 15%, while the unions propose an increase of 25%.
