Thirty euros more in the pockets of new retirees. An increase in line with forecasts from the National Old Age Insurance Fund (CNAV), which revealed its first figures on the impact of the pension reform which came into force on September 1.
Without specifying the number of people affected by this boost, the general director of the National Old Age Insurance Fund, Renaud Villard, declared during aa Senate hearing this Wednesday, October 25, that the reform had increased “by thirty euros on average” the minimum contribution received by workers who retired in September.
20,000 retirees affected by an increase of 100 euros
For people retired for several months, the text passed in 49.3 at the beginning of last spring allowed the increase “by 50 euros on average” of the minimum contribution. And this for some 500,000 people, among whom 20,000 received the maximum amount of 100 euros. Note that the average of 50 euros is slightly below the Cnav forecast, which expected an increase of 60 euros.
But while the revaluation of small pensions has scalded the debates around pension reform, the boss of the CNAV wanted to reassure, explaining that “the amount for retirees who left 20 years ago will be greater” .
Encouraging results, which should not, however, make us forget the promise made by the executive to achieve a gross minimum pension at 85% of the minimum wage for any person who has completed a full-time full-time career at the minimum wage, and on which the CNAV does not has not yet given further details.
