Inflation may prompt the government to make a second indexation: – In December, inflation was almost twice as high as the inflation target. In the coming months it will probably increase even more and will be above 5%. – Glapiński said on Friday, January 17. This would mean that government will have to find an additional few billion for the second indexation of pensions, because it has not secured any funds in the budget for this purpose.
This is what the government promised: Last year, the Council of Ministers considered introducing two indexation of pensions if inflation exceeds 5%. in the first six months of the yearanalogous to a double increase in the minimum wage. However, the project was put in the freezer because the growth rate was not expected prices exceeded this level. The Government Information Center reported in September that: The Council of Ministers will return to the project if there is a risk of exceeding 5%. inflation.
This is how pensions would increase: “Fakt” prepared a simulation of how the payouts may change, assuming the first one valorizationMarch will be 5.42%, and the second one – 5.01%. At these levels the benefit of a person who today has PLN 1,700 gross pension would increase On March 1, by less than PLN 84 net, and after September 1 – by less than PLN 82. At 2 thousand PLN gross – first by PLN 98.64, and then by PLN 96.13. At 2.5 thousand zloty – first by PLN 106.99, then by PLN 104.30.
