Romania’s Govt. announces 12.1% hike in pensions as of January
Pensions in Romania will increase with the hike in the reference point value (VPR), rising by 12.1% from RON 81 currently to RON 91 after January 1, 2025, the Ministry of Labor announced on November 20 on its Facebook page.

The new Pension Law is a firm guarantee that every pensioner will benefit from a sustainable increase in income,” said the minister of labor and social solidarity, Simona Bucura Oprescu, according to the post on the institution’s Facebook page.
