Pensions may be increased in two stages in 2027, with discussions ongoing regarding the budget for next year. The exact percentage and timing of the increases are yet to be determined. Prime Minister Luca Niculescu has indicated a desire to index pensions, while estimates suggest a potential increase of 7.3%. However, this figure is not confirmed, and Finance Minister Alexandru Nazare emphasized the need for a cautious approach. The government's program for 2026-2028 aims to resume pension indexing to protect purchasing power, contingent on budget sustainability and public debt reduction. The estimated cost for a 7.3% increase could exceed 11 billion lei.
