Pensioners in Romania have lost significant amounts due to inflation and lack of pension indexation over the past two years, with losses reaching up to 1,000 lei monthly. Despite legal provisions for annual increases, pensions were not adjusted in 2025 or 2026, exacerbating financial pressures on retirees. Calculations show that pensions should have increased by 20% during this period, translating to substantial monthly increases for various pension levels. However, not all pensioners will benefit from future indexations, particularly those whose recalculated pensions are lower than their current amounts. This situation raises concerns about the financial well-being of retirees amid rising living costs.
