Labor Minister Juan Sheput stated that economic and labor indicators allow the discussion to resume, though the date and modality of the increase remain to be determined. [^4]

The current minimum wage of S/1,130 has been in effect since January 2025, representing an increase of S/105 from the previous floor of S/1,025. [^5]

The proposed increase to S/1,300 represents a rise of S/170, equivalent to approximately 15% over the current RMV. [^6]

Labor Minister Juan Sheput presided over the session and proposed declaring the instance in permanent session to address the country's main labor challenges. [^7]
