Aceh Announces 2026 Minimum Wage Increase

New Wage Level and Economic Context

Aceh Province has officially announced its 2026 Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) at Rp3,932,552. This represents a 6.7% increase (or Rp246,936) from the 2025 minimum wage of Rp3,685,616. The decision was made through a governor's decree signed by Governor Muzakir Manaf. The announcement comes after a delay from the original 24 December 2025 deadline due to the province's focus on managing recent natural disasters.

Implementation and Impact

The new minimum wage will be implemented starting in 2026, reflecting the province's commitment to adjusting wages according to economic conditions while maintaining regional economic stability. This adjustment is part of Aceh's regular review process, demonstrating the government's responsiveness to both labor needs and economic realities. The increase is expected to have a positive impact on local workers while being carefully managed to maintain business viability.
