Pension increase in 2023: increasing salaries expected for pensioners

According to a report by www.freenet.de,
Pensions in Germany are set to increase in the coming years. Pension adjustments by the end of the decade are expected to be between 2.5 and 3.9 percent. The increase in pensions is primarily due to increased wages. The federal government is planning a pension reform that, among other things, should permanently secure the pension level of 48 percent. There are also plans to introduce an obligation to provide old-age insurance for self-employed people.

The pension increases can have an impact on the market and the financial sector. As pensions rise, pension insurance expenses will increase. Premium income could also increase if the contribution rate is increased. This, in turn, could place financial strain on both employers and employees, depending on how the costs are shared.

In addition, according to forecasts, pension levels will fall by 2035, which means that pensions will increase less than wages. This could have an impact on pensioners' purchasing power and potentially lead to greater financial burdens in old age.

However, it remains to be seen whether the planned pension reform will actually be implemented and how the pension adjustments will affect pension insurance and the financial situation of pensioners in the long term. It is important to closely monitor developments on the bond market and examine possible adjustments to retirement provision.
