The reform of the statutory pension is once again on the brink. The federal government recently agreed to maintain the pension level but to increase contributions. What that means for net salaries and pension levels.
Whether the planned major pension reform will actually happen remains to be seen. Once again. On Tuesday morning, Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) announced the previous pact on the so-called Pension Package II with a big bang, only to approve it again in the afternoon. The spectacle was also quite bizarre because Lindner had announced the key points himself a few weeks ago with Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD) in front of the cameras. Now the traffic light will be voted on in the cabinet later than planned.
