While there are no definitions regarding the retirement mobility formula, the Government is advancing in the analysis of measures that cushion the strong impact of inflation on salaries.
For the moment, the Government ruled out the possibility of issuing a decree that updates the formula by which pensions are updated (from retirement mobility), as confirmed by the presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni and analyzes the possibility of implementing a complementary bonus in the meantime.
And it is that, although We are waiting for the omnibus law to be discussed to define how it will be calculated going forward.this is an urgent issue to address given the strong deterioration of purchasing power who have been suffering retirees and pensionersso one possibility that is being evaluated is the implementation of a bonus.
The idea is to implement salary compensation through a bonus that cushions, even a little, the effect of inflation until there is a new standard that establishes the retirement mobility formula.
This occurs just after it was known that the value of the Basic Basket for Retirees, which It rose 239% in the last 12 months and reached a value of $685,041, according to calculations by the Ombudsman for the Elderly of the City of Buenos Aires. In relation to the last measurement carried out in October of last year, the increase rose to 118.73%.
The $685,041 that is currently estimated to be necessary to pay the basic costs that older adults have are very far from the minimum retirement, which It stands at $134,445 and reaches $204,445 if the $70,000 bonus is included. Meanwhile, the average income of retirees who did not resort to the moratoriums is $299,407.
The measurement includes housing expenses and the medication item includes a variety of medications for different pathologies, considering the discount given in pharmacies according to the retiree’s social work, which ranges between 40 and 80%, provided the Ombudsman’s Report.
