I’m pensions And salaries cost-of-living indexation could become quarterly. It is the indiscretion reported on AffariItaliani.it by Alberto Maggi, according to whom a special law could be introduced next year, which goes beyond the budget law that has just arrived in Parliament. “A sort of return to the past – we read – a return to the escalator. The hypothesis is under consideration where theinflation remained above 10% for other months”.
According to what was reported by AffariItaliani.itthe objective of this measure would be to defend the purchasing power of pensioners and workers, especially those who receive less money. “The hypothesis – writes Maggi – is that of not increasing all pension allowances, excluding the higher ones and with a gradual and declining system that rewards those who receive the least the most. For example, around 2,000 euros in gross pension per month, the indexation could be around 8% every three months”.
How would the salaries of employees of private companies be managed instead? “The State would have a small but significant increase in personal income tax and a compensation mechanism for the greater outlay would be studied for businesses (for example some form of additional tax exemption for young people or an incentive for those who invest). Even for employees – concludes Maggi – the quarterly increase linked to the cost of living and the high price would be gradual, rewarding the lowest incomes”.
