Question 13385 — pensions: general

Summary

Ms. Valérie Boyer draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance regarding the non-indexation of retirement pensions. While their CSG has already increased by 1.7%, retirees will suffer a further attack on their purchasing power with the non-indexation of pensions. Thus, the State hopes to achieve savings of 1.8 billion euros by once again relying on retirees. An increase in pensions of only 0.3 % even though the inflation forecast is set at 2.3% will result in a significant drop in the purchasing power of retirees who are already making significant efforts. It is not acceptable that the Government can continue to pit workers and retirees against each other, wrongly thinking that the latter can better support this drop in purchasing power. It is a misunderstanding of retirees and their needs to think that they are financially privileged. If 80% of retirees own their home, it is because they have worked and saved for many years to achieve this. The cost of health expenses for retirees must also be taken into consideration, as does the price of residence in EHPADs, which are often financed through the sale of their property. It seems inappropriate to continue to support this economic policy on those and those who have contributed all their lives to the national wealth. It is for this reason that she asks him to clarify the Government's position concerning the purchasing power of retirees which continues to be reduced.
