Pension increase in summer 2024: Heil gives first forecast for pensioners. Heil: “Confident that pensions will rise faster than inflation again on July 1st,” Heil told the newspapers of the Funke media group in the Saturday editions.

An official forecast assumes a pension increase of 3.5 percent. In addition to the pension increase in the summer of 2024, the minister also does not expect an increase in pension contributions. The contribution rate has therefore been stable at 18.6 percent since 2018 and will “remain stable for even longer”
