French Pension Increases Scheduled for January 2025 Amid Government Transition
Starting January 2025, retirement pensions in France will rise by 2.2% as announced by the outgoing government of Michel Barnier. This adjustment equates to an increase of around 27 euros per month for the average retiree. The raise is based on anticipated inflation and is automatically applied, affecting 15 million retirees. However, the sustainability of this increase is in question as the new government prepares its 2025 budget, which may reverse some of the changes made by Barnier’s administration.
