The minimum wage review meeting will be held on the 24th. The outside world is paying attention to whether it will exceed the 30,000 yuan mark for the first time and set a record of 11 consecutive increases. Executive President Toh Wing-tai responded to this today (16th) by saying that the review committee will comprehensively measure the overall economic development and continue to communicate with both labor and management. As for whether it is determined to exceed 30,000 yuan? Zhuo Kui smiled and said that Taiwan's economic situation is good and all walks of life need to work together.

The minimum wage review meeting will be held on the 24th. It is expected that the minimum wage will be increased by 4% next year and the monthly salary will exceed 30,000 yuan. Zhuo Kui was interviewed after attending the 2026 Taipei International Plastics and Rubber Industry Exhibition in the afternoon. He was asked whether the basic salary would be increased by more than 30,000? Small, medium and micro enterprises seem to be quite worried now. There are rumors that the electricity price will be increased for AIDC and industrial electricity?

Zhuo Kui responded that this is the final decision to be made by their review committee, but we will measure the development of the entire economy, and of course we will communicate well with the industry and the labor sector. The final decision should be made by the review committee.

The media asked, if this part of salary has been increased by more than 30,000 yuan, will small, medium and micro enterprises seem to be worried? Zhuo Kui responded by asking the Minister of Economic Affairs to check and work together. Taiwan's economic situation is very good.

As for the Legislative Yuan, which is expected to send this year's general budget to the Executive Yuan this week, Zhuo Kui said that if the budget is determined earlier, the government can start assisting domestic industries and providing benefits to the people earlier. With the support of the budget in the future, the government will make good use of the budget structure to make the country progress faster. Thank you to the Legislative Yuan.
