- An agreement to increase the minimum wage from 9 to 18%.
- An increase in the value of pensioners’ pensions
- The minimum wage increases from 60,000 to 75,000 FCFA
On the occasion of Labour Day on 1 May 2023, the Ivorian Prime Minister Patrick Achi announced in Abidjan-Plateau that discussions concerning the revaluation of conventional minimum wages following the cessation of the Guaranteed Interprofessional Minimum Wage (SMIG) have resulted in an agreement to increase them by between 9 and 18% for the various sectors of activity.
He added that three new sectors which were not part of the revalorisation, were taken into account such as the mining and quarrying sectors, education, training, confessional education and private secular education.
The Ivorian Prime Minister also made it known that retirees from the private and public sectors were not left out of this dynamic. According to him: “Former workers have seen their retirement pensions upgraded, which is amply deserved in view of their contribution to the development of our nation”.
As a reminder, significant progress has been made in the private sector thanks to consultations between the government, employers’ and employees’ organisations. This led to an increase in the minimum wage from 60,000 to 75,000 FCFA.
