BREAKING!

Starting January 1, 2027, military and public pensions in Romania will be increased by 6% to 8%, significantly lower than the initially projected 12%. This adjustment is due to budget constraints after two years of frozen incomes. The government aims to implement a new rule for automatic pension increases linked to salary hikes for active personnel, addressing disparities among retirees. The exact percentage for pension increases will be finalized at the end of the year when the state budget is approved. For an average pension of 3,000 lei, this means an increase of approximately 180 to 240 lei.
