This is good news. Agirc-Arrco pensions, supplementary pensions, will increase by 1.6% this November 1, or slightly less than inflation. Concretely, this means on average eight euros more per month. An increase which concerns three quarters of retirees. Not enough to make those interested jump to the ceiling.

“That will make two more wands”quips a retiree, as we can see in the video at the top of the article. “We’re going to take them, what else can I tell you? We can’t do anything else. We’re not going to demonstrate, because we, the retirees, don’t have enough clout.”estimates a gentleman encountered in a market.

The old age minimum will be significantly increased on January 1

Bad news, however, for the increase in the basic pension which is postponed until July. Concretely, the average overall pension is 1,512 euros, including 814 euros from the general system. With a revaluation of 1.8%, this represents a little more than 14 euros per month. An effort for retirees who have been relatively spared until now, according to Anne-Sophie Alsif. “Since the energy crisis, the increase in pensions has been higher than inflation to preserve the purchasing power of retirees. Overall, you do not have a loss of purchasing power”explains this economist.

Will this pension freeze affect everyone? A priori, no. The government wants to preserve small pensions. The question is below what threshold? 1200, 1400 or 1600 euros? The discussion will take place next week in the Assembly. Only one certainty: the old age minimum will be increased on January 1 by 1.8%, or 18 euros more per month. It concerns around 600,000 retirees.
