He wants to “protect all retirees against inflation”. Retirement pensions will be increased by 5.2% from next year, announced the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire in an interview given to readers of Le Parisien and broadcast this Tuesday.
Retirement pensions “will all be increased by 5.2% on January 1, 2024. The objective is to protect all retirees against inflation,” declared the minister.
The social minimums will benefit from an increase “of around 4.6%”, which would correspond to “28 euros per month for the RSA”, indicated Bruno Le Maire.
Bring inflation back to “2%”
The minister responded to several questions from readers of Le Parisien on the housing crisis, or the purchasing power problems linked to inflation. On this subject, the minister has also set an objective: to bring inflation “around 2%”.
This announcement is part of a context of high inflation in the prices of food products which, although they have started to slow down, are still experiencing double-digit surges (11.2% over one year in August, according to INSEE).
On this subject, President Emmanuel Macron had already announced that he wanted to find with large industrialists “an agreement on the moderation of margins in the sector” with “controllers who will carry out checks”.
For their part, refiners, distributors and professional oil tanker federations are meeting this Tuesday to address, at the president’s request, the sale of fuel “at cost”. The president also announced on Sunday new aid to compensate for the high price of fuel, “limited to workers” and which could reach “100 euros per car per year”, for the 50% of households earning the least.
