Egyptian Union Official Says Three-Year Wage Plan Would Support Social Protection

Magdy El-Badawy, deputy head of the Egyptian Trade Union Federation, has stressed the importance of setting out a clear plan for wage increases over three years.

His remarks placed longer-term wage planning at the centre of efforts to support social protection for workers.

The proposal focuses on establishing a clear path for pay increases across that period, rather than addressing wages without a defined multi-year framework.

The brief statement did not specify the size of the proposed increases or a timetable for introducing them. It also did not indicate whether a formal plan was under consideration.
