TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The central government has set December 24, 2025, as the deadline for regional governments to announce their minimum wage. Several regions have already declared their Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) for 2026. These figures vary across the country and follow Government Regulation Number 49 of 2025 concerning Wages.
