President Alberto Fernández prepares an announcement for this Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. The president would report that 70% of retirees and pensioners - about 5 million - will receive in August
an extraordinary bonus of up to $ 5,000
to compensate for the loss of assets against inflation, according to Government House sources.
Tenths more, tenths less,
the inflation of the first semester of the year will exceed 25%
, data that the INDEC will report this Thursday.
Meanwhile,
retirements had a rise of 21.2%
, broken down into 8.07% in the first quarter and 12.1% in the second.
They are 4 points less.
If the rise in prices in July is added, inflation in 7 months would be around 29%, leading
by almost 8 points to the rise in retirements
and pensions.
With the $ 5,000, those who collect the minimum retirement of $ 23,065, will receive $ 28,065 in August.
This sum could adopt the modality that was applied with the bonds in April and May;
that is,
focused on retirees and pensioners who earn up to a minimum and a half ($ 34,597).
Then, in
September
, there will be no bonus (it is not integrated to have), but all retirements and pensions will have
the quarterly increase
that corresponds to grant from that month.
While the rest of the retirees and pensioners -who earn more than one and a half minimum assets- as has been happening since last year
will not have any reinforcement,
absorbing the entire loss that will accumulate in the first 8 months of the year.
The mobility law
does not contemplate any compensation for inflation
, but it does not prevent the Government from granting extraordinary bonuses to all or a part of retirees and pensioners.
