The pension point increase was approved through an emergency ordinance regarding the salary system of staff paid from public funds in 2016, the prorogation of certain terms, as well as certain fiscal- budget measures.

The ordinance sets that, through derogation from the provisions of the law regulating the unitary public pension system, the value of the pension point will be hiked by 5% to RON871.7 in 2016.

The value of the pension point stood at RON830.2 in 2015 and to RON790.7 in 2014.
