Pensioners will learn the pension increase percentage for 2027 alongside the budget in about a month, according to Prime Minister Luca Niculescu. He expressed the government's strong desire to avoid new taxes but did not provide guarantees. Discussions are ongoing regarding pension indexation, which has been frozen for two years. The expected increase is around 7.7% starting January 1, 2027. Niculescu emphasized that the final decision on taxes will be revealed when the budget is prepared, acknowledging various factors influencing fiscal decisions. The government's priority remains prudent public spending and improved revenue collection before considering new taxes.
