Pensions will be raised by 6.1% from July 1 due to the delayed final vote on the budget updates in the National Assembly. According to the initial intentions, each retiree should have received a 10% rise plus a supplement of 30 euros per month.

The updated budgets of the State Social Insurance and the National Health Insurance Fund, as well as the final amendments to the state budget are expected to be adopted at second reading next week.
