Recently, the National Assembly considered the retirement of farmers. On December 1, the hemicycle passed a bill in favor of the retirement of self-employed farmers. Adopted at first reading, the text in question, initiated by the deputy The Republicans Julien Dive, plans to calculate their retirement only on the best twenty-five years, and not on the entire career as is the case today. A new method of calculation which should come into force by 2026.
The rules for increasing supplementary pensions (Agirc-Arrco, for example) differ from those for basic pensions. These supplementary pensions are calculated from the number of points acquired during the career, to which a value of the point is multiplied. Then, the social partners decide on a possible revaluation of the value of this point.
In an attempt to compensate for the galloping inflation observed in recent months, supplementary retirement pensions have increased by 5.12% since 1st November 2022. The decision was taken during the Board of Directors of Agirc-Arrco, on October 6, in the presence of employers’ organizations and trade unions. The service value of the Agirc-Arrco point was set at 1 349,80 euros, against 1,284.10 euros previously. The cost of this system is estimated at 4.5 billion euros over one year. This increase was decided on the basis of an increase in the average salary of 4.82%, to which is added a catch-up of +0.1% in respect of inflation observed in 2021. The social partners have decided to grant the Board of Directors an additional margin of maneuver of +0.2%, compatible with the plan’s financial trajectory.
The overall retirement pension for civil servants consists mainly of the basic pension. A supplementary scheme, the “additional public service pension (RAFP)” also exists, but is not not concerned over there revaluation of 0,8% retirement pensions. However, the scheme has raised its point of 5,7% on January 1, 2023.
