Starting 1 April, pensions and social benefits will be indexed by 10%. A decision in this regard has been approved by the Government. It aims to improve social protection for pensioners and other categories of beneficiaries by adjusting the amounts of pensions, allowances and benefits according to economic developments.

The 10% indexation applies to old-age pensions, disability pensions, disability allowances and other benefits. The indexation coefficient will only be applied to the pension that does not exceed the average monthly salary forecast for this year, which is 16,100 lei.

Thus, the minimum old-age pension will increase to 3,055 lei, the average pension to 4,407 lei, and the minimum disability pensions will range between 1,527 lei and 2,291 lei.

The Government also approved updating the insured income valuation coefficients for 2024, which will be applied to pension calculations from 1 April 2025. The process will contribute to the fair calculation of pensions for future beneficiaries, reflecting the increase in the average salary on economy.
