AMBON, Maluku: The Maluku provincial administration has
increased the regional minimum monthly wage by 23 percent from Rp
285,000 to Rp 370,000, an official said on Tuesday.

The head of the provincial manpower office, Ade Adam Noh, said
a gubernatorial decree increasing the minimum wage had been
signed by Maluku Governor M. Saleh Latuconsina. It will come into
effect next year.

Ade did not elaborate on the reasons behind the rise, but the
increase could be attributed to rising inflation. Regional
minimum wages are expected to go up across the country next year.
