Only at the end of November will it be possible to know once and for all how much pensions will increase next year. But the evolution of inflation and economic growth so far already allows us to get a rough idea. According to calculations by Expresso, the majority of retirees will be able to count on a benefit increase of between 6% and 6.5% in January. The rise will be less pronounced than this year’s, but still one of the largest on record.

After months of uncertainty, the Prime Minister confirmed in April that pensions would be updated next year according to rules set in law for years.
