Former finance minister Miftah Ismail has recommended raising the minimum wage to Rs35000. Our top priority should be to pave the way for a business-friendly environment. This will allow us to create opportunities for attracting more investment, facilitating industries and boosting productivity.
In such an environment, we would not need to worry about mandating a minimum wage as our workers would be paid more than enough to survive.
