Colombia just raised the minimum wage by about 23% — one of the largest increases in decades.
But the big question many people in Medellín are asking isn’t just about wages…
What will this do to prices?
During Ciclovía in El Poblado, I spoke with locals and foreigners to hear real opinions on:
• Whether higher wages will lead to higher prices
• If businesses will pass increased labor costs onto consumers
• How food, rent, and everyday expenses already feel
• Who benefits most — and who might feel more pressure
This video isn’t about politics or economic theory.
It’s about how people on the street think this change will affect real life in Colombia.
Whether you live here, grew up here, or are thinking about moving to Colombia, these are conversations worth hearing.
