The National Tripartite Committee, comprising representatives from the government, employers, and organized labor associations, commenced negotiations on the determination of the 2025 minimum wage on Monday, February 3, 2025.
A statement from the Presidency Communications, signed by the Acting Spokesperson to the President, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, indicated that discussions on base pay for public sector salaries will follow after the determination of the minimum wage.
The statement highlighted that these negotiations are behind schedule, as they were initially expected to be concluded by the end of April 2024, per the Public Financial Management (PFM) Act.

In light of the delay, the government has called on all stakeholders involved—including employers, government officials, and organized labor groups—to expedite the negotiation process to ensure its completion in time to inform the 2025 budget preparations.
This development is crucial for ensuring fair compensation for workers and maintaining a stable and productive workforce in the public sector.
The outcome of these negotiations will significantly impact the economic outlook for 2025, shaping public expenditure and the financial welfare of employees across the country. Stakeholders and the general public await further updates as the negotiations continue.
