The Romanian government announced an increase of 3.47 billion lei for pensions, but this amount will not be used for pension indexing. Instead, around 1.5 billion lei will be allocated for one-off aid to 2.8 million pensioners during Christmas. The aid amounts vary based on pension levels, with lower pensions receiving higher amounts. Discussions about pension indexing for January 2027 are ongoing, with three potential rates of 3%, 5%, and 7% being considered. The estimated costs for these indexations range from 4.2 billion lei to 9.4 billion lei, depending on the chosen rate.
