Minimum pension to be guaranteed

TO INCREASE standards of living of retirees with the lowest pensions, the Robert Fico government proposes the introduction of minimum pension. It will be allocated for everyone who has paid old-age pension insurance for at least 30 years and achieved the retirement age. The measure, which is one out of a 15-measure social package, still needs to be passed by parliament. The minimum guaranteed pension is proposed to be almost €270 for 2015.
