Main effects of coronavirus on the new pension forecast forecast

The crown crisis attacks pensioners’ wallets.
Next year, the income pension will be reduced by 1.5 percent, according to a recent forecast.
– In the current situation, development is much more uncertain than usual, says Ole Settergren, head of analysis at the Pension Authority.
The reduction means that those with an income pension of 12,000 will receive SEK 180 less per month from 2021.
The recalculation is a consequence of the effects of crowns on the social economy.
– Income development controls the calculation of the income pension and the supplementary pension, says Ole Settergren, head of analysis at the Swedish Pension Agency, in a comment.
It also emphasizes that the situation is very difficult to assess. Therefore, the authority will present a new forecast in late July.
I had counted on an increase
Before the crowning pandemic, the Pension Agency anticipated that the income pension would increase by 0.3 percent.
People with a low pension are compensated by automatically increasing the so-called basic pension (guarantee pension, housing supplement and old-age support) when the income pension decreases.
The forecast for the premium pension is also adjusted downward. There, the Pension Agency expects a loss of 8 percent next year.
