Romanian pensions are projected to fall below 40% of the last salary due to an increasing deficit in the pension fund. Analysts warn that this trend is irreversible, with a current deficit of 52 billion lei. The number of pensioners is expected to rise significantly in the coming years, while fewer young people are entering the workforce. The European Commission reports that by 2025, the pension replacement rate will be 47%, compared to 60% in the EU. Projections indicate pensions could drop to 30% of the last salary by 2070, raising concerns about the sustainability of the pension system.
