Minimum wage readjustment and the Valorization Policy
The readjustment of the national wage floor is accompanied by the Valorization Policy, another priority of the ministry to come into force. Minister Luiz Marinho stated that this line had positive results in the previous governments of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), the current president.

It is important that economic agents, the business community, mayors, governors know what the predictability of the wage base in Brazil, and the minimum wage is the main wage base in Brazil”, stated.
