In 2014, the government raised the minimum wage by 6.78 percent to 724 reais per month in 2014.

Yes, but it should only be raised for large corporations, but allow small businesses to have tax exemptions/incentives to keep prices down and businesses afloat to deal with potential inflation woes.

No, instead it should focus in decreasing inflation and increasing the real value of the minimum salary and the purchase power of the Real.
