Cambodia recently set next year’s minimum wage for the garment, footwear and travel goods (GFT) sector at $208 per month—a rise of $4 from this year.
This increase includes a $2 adjustment decided during the final round of negotiations between employers and unions, with an additional $2 added at the instruction of Prime Minister Hun Manet, according to domestic media reports.
Three figures were proposed at the meeting: $206, $208 and $214. The majority voted for $206, an increase of $2, which was then raised by another $2 at the direction of the prime minister.
