Pension raises through reform with initial economic burdens
August 20, 2026
The pension reform introduces increases in pensions, with many cases exceeding 100 euros monthly. Approximately 50,000 pensioners will benefit significantly, while future pensioners with low earnings may see increases ranging from 5% to 60%. However, there are concerns about initial economic burdens on public finances, estimated at 50 million euros annually for the first five years. Public officials emphasize the long-term sustainability of the system. Discussions will continue on August 28 with the aim of implementing the reform starting in 2027.
