Pension increase from 1 January 2018

22 December 2017

The financial position of the pension fund is sufficient to provide almost a full supplement. The pensions of retirees and former members will be increased by 1.29% and those of active members by 1.50%. This corresponds to 96% of the standard.

Statutory rules have to be taken into account when providing the supplement. The pension fund is only permitted to provide the full supplement when the policy funding ratio is 122%. At the end of November the policy funding ratio was 121.4% and therefore not quite high enough to enable the full supplement to be provided.

The decision on the final supplement is always taken by the board. Read more about the supplement policy.
