Additional Improvement to Accompany Pension Increase

An additional improvement to pension payments will be made alongside the statutory increase. The announced approach therefore includes an extra improvement in addition to the increase provided for by law, rather than limiting the pension adjustment to the statutory rise alone.

The statutory increase and the additional improvement are both part of the measure concerning pensions. The extra improvement is a separate element added alongside the legally scheduled increase.

The central point of the announced measure is that pension payments will receive an improvement on top of the statutory increase. The planned adjustment thus combines the increase required under law with a further improvement to pensions.
