“I see the debate in public and I want to make it clear: there is no need to worry about pensions. Next year, they will be indexed and increased even more.
The funds for that will be provided in the draft budget, ”wrote S. Skvernelis on Facebook.
A discussion on the indexation of pensions arose on Tuesday in the Presidency, where President Gitanas Nausėda met with the Board of Seimas.

Under current law, pensions do not increase if a country’s GDP or wage bill decreases.
However, Ramūnas Karbauskis, the leader of the ruling “peasants”, promised that the Social Security Pension Law would be amended if necessary.
“It just came to our notice then. In my opinion, it may be necessary to make some adjustments to the law for indexing to take place, even if we are missing a few tens of percent of economic growth.” 15 minutes R. Karbauskis spoke.
The average pension in Lithuania is currently almost 380 euros.
