Romania may resume pension indexation in 2027

In Romania, pensions may see an increase starting January 1, 2027. Following a period in 2025 and 2026 where the reference point value remained frozen at 81 lei, current legislation allows for the return of the annual indexation formula.

Interim Labor Minister Dragoș Pîslaru stated that the European Union does not prohibit such an increase. The primary requirement for the implementation of the indexation is that the 2027 national budget must be able to support the additional expenditure.
