The indexation of pensions to inflation valid from the payments of August 9, according to Dussopt

Labor Minister Olivier Dussopt clarified on Tuesday on RTL that the government’s objective was to index retirement pensions to inflation valid from the July retirement, paid on August 9.

As soon as the presidential majority is present in the Assembly, according to the legislative (…) the National Assembly and the Senate will be seized of a text on purchasing power, which will make it possible to index retirement pensions from the general diet, he said.

We would like this indexation to inflation to be valid for pensions in July. As part of the general scheme, the pension for the month of July is paid on August 9, he said.

It is our objective that the indexation enters into force on this date, he said, specifying that this only concerned the basic pension, not the complementary one, and that the dates of payment varied according to the plans.

If we take into account 4% inflation, for a pension of 1,200 euros, it is a gain of 45 euros per month, he said.

Emmanuel Macron had announced during the presidential campaign an exceptional revaluation of basic pensions on July 1.

Regarding the pension reform, which he is responsible for, the Minister of Labor assured that the timetable is still under construction.

We will include the timetable for this reform (of pensions) and consultation in the government’s action plan. The President of the Republic has given us a month to draw it up.

I think we can start this (the consultation on a pension reform) in September, in October, he said.

We must start with consultation and dialogue. From today I begin to meet the social partners, on pensions and a thousand subjects: training, health at work, purchasing power, he said.
