Pensioners in the Federation of BiH, based on regular alignment, which is done on 15. April arrives in the first year. Thus, pensions will be harmonized on the basis of previous economic parameters, GDP and the prices of prices, ie inflation in the previous year.
Although the correct alignment percentage is awaited by the Federal Statistical Office, according to previous indicators, according to which the sum of two parameters is divided by the number two, pensions could increase between four and five percent.
One-off
Given these, unfavorable, parameters are quite certain that extraordinarily harmonization will not be possible, so retirees in the second half of the year can be hoped, possibly, one-time financial assistance. After all, it was hinted after the recently held meeting of the Government of the FBiH Government with both the Associations in the FBiH when it was announced that the Federal Government will provide an intervention measure that implies financial support to pensioners.
After that meeting, it became clear that the amendments to the Law on PIOs, which retirees searched for a new formula for harmonization, which would be able to be able to adopt by GDP by 15. April.
It was said that the working group will continue to operate in the coming days in the finalization of the law, and as Augustin Music said, member of the Federation of the FBiH Pensioner’s Association, it is possible that the legal solution will be adopted this year.
Legal solution
– We insisted that amendments to the law to be enacted by 15. April, however, unfortunately, there is nothing. Everything and to be adopted this year, the application of that legal solution would probably follow next year, because technically and financially otherwise is not executable. Unfortunately, we have no opportunity than to organize protests, and the question is what we would receive and thus. Because, hard to fight those who have nothing. We don’t have the opportunity to stop traffic, manufacture or stop the teaching process – he said for our newspaper Music.
He stressed that it is visible that according to all parameters, the percentage of harmonization is low.
– It’ll be fine if five percent be. By counting, for example, 4.5 percent, the lowest pension of 573.53 KM would be about 600 km. What is it in the sea of food price, utilities, drugs and everything else? Simply, the sit hungry does not believe – he concluded Music.
In May and differences for the first three months
Pensioners in the FBiH will increase income based on regular reconciliation of profit in May. Recall, regular component of pensions is paid retroactively with the application of 1. January, so retirement in May, in the April income will receive and difference for the first three months.
Otherwise, the dissatisfaction of the pensioner by the alignment percentage lasts from last year when they requested amendments to the Law on PIO in the compound relating, writing Avaz.
