Românii ar putea ieși mai târziu la pensie: Consiliul Fiscal recomandă creșterea graduală a vârstei de pensionare

The Fiscal Council warns about risks in Romania's pension system and suggests structural measures, including raising the retirement age and removing exceptions. In its 2025 annual report, the Council emphasizes the need for firm actions to address long-term risks, highlighting the impact of political instability on the country's rating. The report identifies population aging and the retirement of the 'decrees' generation as major threats to the public pension system's sustainability. Recommendations include increasing labor market participation and gradually adjusting the retirement age based on life expectancy. Without these measures, public debt risks and budget balance issues are expected to rise significantly in the coming years.
