Retirees will receive increases in 2024: How much?
With the political crisis the country is facing, pension increases for the next year were at stake. But with the confirmation that the State Budget 2024 will come into effect, pension increases will also move forward.
According to news shared by Notícias ao Minuto, the increases in question "were in doubt", but the uncertainty has already been clarified by the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
"The increases in pensions 'above inflation', foreseen in the proposal of the State Budget for 2024, came to be in doubt in the hours following the resignation of the prime minister, but the President of the Republic chose to allow the approval of the State Budget, after having met with the Council of State on November 9," it can be read in the news, quoting Deco Proteste.
In 2024, we will observe the following increases: Pensions up to 1,020 euros will have an increase of 6.2%, pensions between 1,020 and 3,061 euros an increase of 5.8% and pensions above 3,061 euros an increase of 5.2%.
