The Romanian government faces challenges in funding pension indexation as required by law. Prime Minister Luca Niculescu and other officials have not confirmed the exact percentage for pension increases. Newsweek emphasizes that pensions should be indexed by 11.3%, but a lower increase of 5% is anticipated for January 2027. Additionally, there may be one-off financial aid for pensioners with low pensions. A second indexation later in 2027 is uncertain and depends on economic performance.
