Greek pensioners will see significant increases in their monthly pay cheques as of next month, according to the data processed by EFKA, Greece’s state insurance, and pensions body, ANA reports.
Specifically, EFKA announced on Thursday these increases will benefit 94.6% of the country’s 2,634,786 pensioners or 2,499,285 retirees.
Of these nearly 2.5 million pensioners, 1.3 million will see two increases, some 185,649 will receive triple increases, while one in two pensioners will see one extra payout which is equivalent to a month’s full pension. The second and third increases relate to several factors affecting individual pensions, such as the annulment of a solidarity tax.
