He also emphasized that the allowance of 250 euros will be paid on Christmas days when the January pensions will also be given.
The increases in pensions will start to be given from the end of January, along with the February pensions, the Minister of Labor told SKAI 100.3 today. Kostis Hatzidakis.
He said that their amount will be determined by the amount of GDP growth and the price increase, and this will be reflected in the draft budget that will be tabled in the coming days. He explained that the sum of these two quantities would be divided by two, and that would be the height of the increase.
He pointed out that if there is a deviation either upwards or downwards, it will have a reflection in the pensioners’ pockets after the finalization of the data by ELSTAT next year in the Autumn.
The Minister of Labor also stated that the increases will concern 95% of pensioners. They will see one, two or three increases in their salaries, said Mr. Hatzidakis.
He also emphasized that the allowance of 250 euros will be paid on Christmas days when the January pensions will also be given.
Regarding the pending pensions, he stated that we have essentially reached the end of the road. There are zero pending pensions until 2020 and there are 8,500 pending pensions for 2021 and 17,000 for 2022.
