BulletEM BulletEmerging Markets NewsHomepage
  • The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs submitted a proposal to trade unions and employer representatives to raise the minimum wage by CZK1,100 from January. This would represent a 6.8% increase from the current CZK16,200 to CZK17,300 per month. Trade unions and employer representatives are due to respond to the proposal today.
  • The latest Data Collect/Kantar poll suggested that ANO leader and former Prime Minister Andrej Babis is the frontrunner to win the presidential race to be held early next year. Babis polled at 27%, surpassing retired general Petr Pavel (26.5%) and economist Danuse Nerudova (23.5%). That said, Pavel remains a clear favourite in terms of voting potential, which accounts for voters who are still hesitating about their final decision. Furthermore, the survey contrasts with a suite of earlier polls which indicated that both Pavel and Nerudova would easily beat Babis in the second round.
