Parliament accidentaly approved lower growth in pensions

Parliament has recently approved changes to pensions that will save the state €100m a year, reckons Martin Šuster, member of the fiscal responsibility council RRZ. MPs aimed to help pensioners by allowing pension increases not only as of January 1, but whenever inflation exceeds 5%. But they also approved a slower indexation of pensions, which will rise 11.6% in 2024 instead of previous 13%. Šuster thinks MPs did not realize this, as the proposal was approved without a proper debate.
