Studiu Vela Group: Situația pensiilor din România în T2 2026 - Economica.net

A recent study by Vela Group highlights the challenges facing Romania's public pension system, revealing a decline in the number of pensioners and a slow growth in average pensions. The average monthly pension reached 2,942 lei in Q2 2026, reflecting a 0.3% increase from the previous quarter but a decrease in purchasing power. The ratio of average pension to average salary dropped to 52.5%, indicating a growing gap in financial security for retirees. The demographic shift, with an increasing elderly population and declining birth rates, exacerbates these issues. Vela Group recommends individuals actively plan for retirement by considering private pension options and personal investments to ensure financial stability in old age.
