Question 13600 — pensions: general

Summary

Ms. Emmanuelle Anthoine alerts the Minister of the Economy and Finance about the place and consideration of retirees in French society. Indeed, the purchasing power of retirees has been seriously undermined recently, both by the decision to de-index retirement pensions, their non-revaluation and the increase in the CSG. This is how from 2019, pensions will no longer be indexed to inflation, even though this has been the rule for 40 years. They had already been frozen in the past, as in 2015, due to zero inflation. In 2018, inflation is increasing (+1.6% on average over one year, +2.3% in July 2018 according to INSEE) and pensions will hardly be increased on January 1, 2019 (+0.3%), well below inflation, meaning in concrete terms a significant drop in the purchasing power of retirees, which have already suffered an increase in the general social contribution (CSG). However, the Government had announced that the increase in the CSG would be offset by other measures in their favor. It is clear that the promise has not been kept, but that once again the same segment of the population will be used as a variable for adjusting the government's tax policy. Retirees today are extremely worried, especially since they have to face unequal treatment under the APA since the ASV law of 2015 and the increase in the remaining costs for those housed in EHPADs. The predicted aging of the population requires worthy support for seniors and therefore the implementation of a real dependency plan. Also, she asks him how the Government intends to protect a fragile population whose purchasing power inevitably decreases.
