The Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt, specified on Tuesday the timetable for the implementation of this measure in favor of purchasing power.


Purchasing power is one of the central issues for the French, especially as the war in Ukraine, which continues, contributes to the increase in prices.

A gesture in favor of retirees is expected, those who are excluded from annual negotiations to obtain an increase in their income.

This Tuesday, the Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt, clarified on RTL that the government's "objective" is to index retirement pensions to inflation, which has reached levels that have not been seen for four decades.

It will be “valid from the July retirement, paid on August 9”.

"As soon as the presidential majority is present in the Assembly, after the legislative elections, (...) the National Assembly and the Senate will be seized of a text on purchasing power, which will make it possible to index pensions retirement from the general scheme", he says.

“If we take into account inflation at 4%, for a pension of 1,200 euros, it's a gain of 45 euros per month.

“We would like this indexation to inflation to be valid for pensions in July.

As part of the general scheme, the pension for the month of July is paid on August 9”, specifies Olivier Dussopt.

“It is our objective that the indexation comes into force on this date”, specifying that this only concerned the basic pension.

The President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, announced during the presidential campaign an exceptional revaluation of basic pensions on July 1.
