White smoke. After careful negotiations, the unions and employers’ organizations which co-pilot Agirc-Arrco, the most imposing of the supplementary schemes, that of former private sector employees, have found a draft agreement. Among the decisions: the revaluation of pensions by 4.9% on November 1st. The final signing is scheduled for this Wednesday.
The negotiations were tough, even stormy at times, but they still had an outcome within the planned timetable. During the night of Wednesday October 4 to Thursday October 5. The last meeting in the announced cycle of meetings between social partners jointly managing the Agirc-Arrco regime was scheduled for this Wednesday at the end of the day. It led to the conclusion of a draft national inter-professional agreement shortly after midnight. The agreement, which will serve as the reference text for the next four years, was to be signed overnight.
What increase can you count on for the November 2023 pension? It will ultimately be 4.9%, which constitutes the lower range of the different scenarios outlined during the penultimate meeting. Friday September 29, employers proposed a revaluation of 4.6%, based on data provided by Agirc-Arrco (average increase in wages) and by INSEE (inflation).
The unions demanded more, in order to show an increase at least comparable to inflation (5% on annual average over the year 2023 according to the latest estimate from INSEE but 4.9% on the data used by Agirc- Arrco) and the revaluation announced by the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire for basic pensions, of 5.2%, on January 1.
Minimum pension, increase of 5.2%, Agirc-Arrco… When will your pension increase?
The low revaluation, due to contribution to pension reform?
Final verdict: 4.9%, as of November 1, 2023, therefore, for the Agirc-Arrco point, and for the additional pensions paid by the scheme over the next twelve months. This is consistent with the criterion used for inflation.
This is thus the median range of the different figures put forward. Before this final meeting, a close source pointed out in advance the responsibility of the government, which is putting pressure on the supplementary scheme to contribute an amount much higher than the initial estimates for financing the revaluation of small pensions.
