Hungary delivering what it promised
In spite of the economic crisis affecting the whole of Europe, Hungary’s government is delivering what it promised to pensioners and workers, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office told a regular press briefing on Thursday.
Gergely Gulyás said that, despite high inflation and the sanctions imposed in response to the war, real wage growth as a nationwide average was several percentage points higher than the inflation rate last year and in the case of pensioners, the 15 percent pension increase that took place on January 1 could even be higher than inflation in an optimistic scenario.
Gulyás noted that the 13th month pension is also being disbursed. He said that while the governments of Ferenc Gyurcsány and Gordon Bajnai had scrapped the 13th month pension during the 2008-2009 economic crisis, this government returned it, maintaining the 13th month pension and increasing it in line with inflation.
