Pensionarii sibieni ajung să se împrumute pentru a avea căldură, iarna

Pensioners in Sibiu are borrowing significant amounts for winter heating, with 1.15 million lei borrowed in September alone. Most requests come from rural areas, especially during autumn when they buy firewood. The CARP Sibiu provides loans with lower interest rates than banks, helping those in need. Additionally, low-income pensioners can receive state aid for heating costs, with new financial support expected in December 2026. This assistance varies based on income and heating source, with monthly supplements available for utility payments.
