The minimum wage in Azerbaijan, currently set at 345 manats, will be increased at the beginning of 2025 to meet the country’s international obligations. This was announced by economist and Member of Parliament Ali Mansimli during an interview with TV channel "24". According to him, the current minimum wage level does not meet the requirements of several international documents, which state that the minimum wage should be at least 60% of the average salary, which is 1000 manats.
