Premier Luca Niculescu announced a pension increase likely starting January 1, 2027, emphasizing the need for higher pensions for retirees. Minister of Labor Florin Manole supports a 7.3% increase, arguing it would boost consumption and investment. He noted that while pension increases could stimulate the economy, they might also lead to inflation, affecting purchasing power. Discussions on the minimum wage are ongoing, with no confirmation yet on its increase.
