Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced that the country's minimum wage will rise again next year.
He also said that pensions will increase for the first time since the outbreak of the financial crisis, more than a decade ago.
"After many years, pensions will increase for 1,5 million pensioners," Mitsotakis said during the annual economic policy speech in Thessaloniki.
He added that the increase in pensions will be indexed by the growth of gross domestic product (GDP) and inflation, reports Tanjug.
"The minimum wage, which the Government raised to 713 euros a month ago, will rise again in May," Mitsotakos announced, without specifying how much it would amount to.
His Government will also abolish the so-called solidarity levy for workers in the private and public sectors, which is a legacy of the multi-year debt crisis in Greece.
Mitsotakis also promised additional funding to ease the impact of the energy crisis and rising inflation on the country's households.
About 1,3 million households will be entitled to greater financial aid for heating during the winter, while those who heat with oil or other fuels instead of gas or electricity, that aid will be doubled, he added.
All the measures he announced for this and the next year will amount to a total of 5,5 billion euros.
