Many pensioners have hoped for a second valorisation of benefits this year, but government forecasts leave no illusions – there will be no increases. Moreover, in the coming years, too, there is no further increase in pensions. It's a blow to seniors who have heard multiple promises from politicians.
The promises of Tusk and the government – what happened?
In his 2023 exposé, Donald Tusk announced that if inflation in the first half of the year remained at least 5%, pensioners would receive a second valorization. akin declarations were made by the Minister of elder Affairs Marzena Okła-Drewnowicz, ensuring that the government is ready to rapidly introduce the applicable bill.
Regrettably, ‘Fact’These promises will not be fulfilled. CSO data indicate that inflation falls and does not scope the required 5% threshold. Moreover, a government paper Multi-annual macroeconomic indicators 2025-2029 Inflation is expected to be 3.8% in 2025, in 2027 – 3% and in 2028 – only 2.8%. This means that pensioners can forget about double valorization not only now, but besides in the coming years.
How much is next year's valorization?
According to the preliminary forecasts, the valuation is expected to amount to 2025 5.2%. This year's pensions increased by 5.5%which translated into circumstantial amounts:
- Minimum pension increased from 1780.96 zł au PLN 1878.83 (+97.87 PLN).
- Pension of 2000 PLN increased to PLN 2110.
- Benefits PLN 5000 increased by 275 zł.
The increase besides applies to 13th and 14th pensionswhose amount is linked to a minimum pension. However, it is worth noting that erstwhile paying "fourteen" the rule of "gold for gold" applies – if the pensioner's income exceeds PLN 2900the benefit will be reduced.
Can pensioners number on changes?
For now, the government is not announcing any additional action. In the light of economical forecasts, pensioners must accept the fact that second valorisation in the coming years is not an option. It's a bitter pill for seniors who hoped to improve their financial situation.
