The daily minimum wage in Myanmar is set to increase from Kyat 3,600 (US$2.6) to Kyat 4,800 (US$3.5) following a formal endorsement by the union government.  The announcement was made after a recent meeting of the National Committee on Fixing the Minimum Wage.  The wage increase will apply to all businesses with 10 or more employees.

Unless widely opposed, the wage increase will be confirmed within the next 60 days.  In accordance with the Minimum Wage Law, enacted in 2013, the national committee was formed to revise the minimum wage rate every two years.
