Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne announced on Tuesday that minimum pensions would be increased for future and current retirees.

They will thus reach nearly 1,200 euros per month "from this year". 

The minimum pension will be set at 85% of the net minimum wage, "i.e. nearly 1,200 euros per month from this year", for future retirees with a full career, Elisabeth Borne announced on Tuesday, presenting the pension reform.

The Prime Minister indicated that she had "decided to integrate" into the project also "the revaluation of the pensions of current retirees who have had a full career at the level of the Smic", or "nearly two million small pensions".

Stating that this measure would be discussed with parliamentarians, “in particular” the LR group, Elisabeth Borne said that her “objective” was to see it appear in the bill which will be presented to the Council of Ministers on January 23.
