Romanian pensioners may see an increase in their pensions starting January 1, 2027, after a two-year freeze. Sorin Grindeanu confirmed that a pension increase is mandatory, but the exact percentage remains uncertain due to budget constraints. Possible increases range from 6% to 12%, with estimates suggesting a 7.3% rise could cost around 9.6 billion lei. The impact of these increases varies significantly based on current pension amounts, with higher percentages translating to larger monthly increases. Grindeanu emphasized the need for a legal indexation of pensions, while discussions continue regarding the final percentage to be applied.
