The Romanian Minister of Labor, Florin Manole, announced plans for a pension increase of about 7% in 2027, pending final inflation data. He emphasized the need to respect the law after pensions were frozen in 2025 and 2026. The estimated cost for the pension adjustment is between 9.5 and 9.6 billion lei, which is supported by budget projections for social assistance. The proposal will be submitted to the Ministry of Finance and the Prime Minister once the necessary indicators are available. Additionally, the elimination of health insurance contributions for certain groups is a priority for the current government.
