TL;DR
- The 23% minimum wage increase for 2026 will directly affect the cost of social housing and co-property administration fees.
- Fedelonjas states the increase lacks technical backing and will impact the labor market, inflation, and household payment capacity.
- The price of Social Interest Housing (VIS) and Priority Interest Housing (VIP) will rise as these segments are indexed to the minimum wage.
- Nearly 50% of approved housing licenses as of October 2025 are for social housing, meaning a significant volume of households will be affected.
- Over 60% of families in co-owned properties in major and intermediate cities will see increased administration fees, as these are often based on minimum wage for services like security and cleaning.
- The real estate sector, composed of small businesses with tight margins, could face job reductions or increased informality due to higher labor costs.
- The wage hike may intensify inflationary pressures and create chain effects on public finances.
- Fedelonjas argues that wage increases disconnected from productivity can make formal hiring more expensive and harm SMEs.
