Pensioners in the Federation of BiH, probably 5. May get increased amounts on the basis of regular harmonization that is 4.49 percent this year. Although the lowest pension, which receives 210,805 users of 4,400 pensioners amount to 599.28 KM instead of 573.53 km, dissatisfaction among this population is more present.
Especially because, according to current parameters, there is no space for extraordinary harmonization of pensions and, thus, their additional growth.
Growth rate
– Until the amendments to the Law on PIO in a section relating to harmonization, this is not possible – was confirmed by “Dnevni Avaz” Haso Halilović, Deputy President of the Association of the FBiH Pensioners Association.
In the Alliance, he told us, they expect that, at their request, until 30. April, when the Assembly of the Association of the Association of Pensioners from 61 municipalities and the city was held, a meeting with the leaders of the Federal Government.
– According to the current formula, regular harmonization was performed, it turned out that inflation, ie the growth rate of the consumer price index is 1.43 percent, and in December it was said to be 2.10 and the like. Well, in neighboring Croatia, inflation is 3.50, so we doubt that it was a political, not a statistical decision. As the GDP growth rate is not in favor and general dissatisfaction due to all other movements, we seek the emergency changes to which the pension growth will be related to the growth of the salaries and that will enable us Halilović.
He noted that the workgroup for amendments to the law proposed such a decision, and that the FBiH government agreed, but also that it is not a harmonized ratio.
What is the government seek
However, it was already in order to ensure that the amendments and amendments to the Law in the section relating to the harmonization of the application began from 1. January next year.
– Yes, the FBiH Government requires it, and we believe that this procedure should end as soon as possible for the application to start from 1. July this year – Halilović emphasized.
Recall, pension alignment is applied from January 1 so that customers of pension in addition to April income get the differences for the first three months. Clarifications work, retirees with the lowest income will receive the total amount of 676.53 KM in May.
Guaranteed and highest income
All pensions, except those realized in 2025. years, with the exception of the minimum and guaranteed, are harmonized. Thus, from Maja, the Pension is guaranteed instead of the current 684.48 KM, amount to 715,21 KM. The amount of the highest pension is legally limited to the amount of five lowest pensions. Ultimately the highest pension that now is 2,867.65 KM will increase to 2,990,40 KM, writes Avaz.
