Romania's labour minister says pensions will be indexed in 2027, with an early estimate of 7.3%, and confirms December aid
Romania's Labour Minister Florin Manole says pensions will be indexed on 1 January 2027 according to the formula set by law, ruling out a freeze. A preliminary, unofficial simulation puts the increase at about 7.3%, costing around 9.6 billion lei, but the figures are not final. He also said the one-off aid for low-income pensioners will be paid in December together with the pension.
