Pension reform: Aim is to bring it before the Cabinet soon
Mr. Mousiouttas has stated that pension reform is the most important reform the government is undertaking this year, noting that “in September, we will submit the bill on the first pillar—the Social Insurance Fund—to the House of Representatives.”
He also said that the main objectives include ensuring adequate pensions so that pensions are substantially improved.
He added that “the reform brings increases to all pensions, with the greatest support directed where the need is greatest—to our low-income pensioners— in other words, it ensures fairness, so that burdens and benefits are shared equitably, and sustainability, so that the system remains robust for our children and grandchildren as well.”
