She recalled that the break in this practice lasted since 2019. According to her, two indexations have already been included in the budget of the Social Fund for 2027.
The first will take place from February 1 and will correspond to actual inflation, preliminarily amounting to 6.8%. The second from April 1, additionally by 3.3%.
Golikova also noted that all social benefits and payments will be indexed. The necessary financing is provided in full in the budget for 2027, as well as for the planning period of 2028 and 2029.
