We aim to increase the pensions of the final pay plan every year (indexation). As per January, 1, 2025, the pensions of pensioners and deferred members of the final pay plan will be increased by 2.62%.

How is the level of indexation determined?

Increasing pensions is only possible if the financial position of the fund is good enough. Full indexation according to our policy means that pensions can increase by 75% along with the price increase, up to a maximum of 3%. 

Calculation

The level of the policy funding ratio reflects our financial position and determines whether we are allowed to increase our pensions. The policy funding ratio as of the end of September 2024 was 141.8%, which meant our financial position was good enough for full indexation.

The price increase as per the end of September 2024 (consumer price index, or CPI, determined by the Central Bureau of Statistics) determines how much we are allowed to increase pensions. The increase is 75% of the CPI, up to a maximum of 3%. The CPI as per the end of September 2024 was 3.5%. 75% of this 3.5% is 2.62%.

The indexation will be processed with the January 2025 pension benefit.
