Lithuanian PM promises to raise minimum wage in July

“So far we are not planning to change our decision and the minimum monthly wage will be increased since 1 July,” the prime minister told the journalists on Tuesday.

The minimum monthly wage would grow by EUR 25, from EUR 300 to EUR 325. President Dalia Grybauskaitė has expressed her support for the move, stating that at the moment the minimum salary is the lowest in Lithuania of all three Baltic States.
