The decision was made at the Government’s regularly meeting for July, according to the Lao Prime Minister’s Office.
Over the recent past, high inflation and the continuous depreciation of the Lao kip have considerably affected the life of workers in Laos.
To ease difficulties facing people amid surging daily expenses, in late April, the country’s Government agreed to increase the monthly minimum wage from 1.2 million LAK to 1.3 million LAK./.
