“The government has tried step by step to increase the minimum wage so as to ensure our competitiveness and growth in the garment sector,” he was quoted as saying by Cambodia media reports.
The monthly minimum wage for the sector is $200 this year, rising from $194 last year.
Talks by the National Council on Minimum Wage are under way to raise the monthly minimum wage for next year. Even after two meetings, a minimum wage figure has not been arrived at.

Minister of labour and vocational training Heng Sour said the ministry would release the figure for 2024 before mid-October.
