PNL's Citu: We argue that all pensions in Romania should be based on contribution

National leader of the National Liberal Party (PNL) Florin Citu said on Tuesday that all pensions in Romania should be proportional to contributions, mentioning that the measure is part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), agerpres reports.

The pension reform, which will be implemented in 2023, stipulates that "special pensions or service pensions will all move to a contribution-based system," Citu told a news briefing at the Parliament House.

"We need to find a solution. As we have those pensions for people who worked, for example, in certain sectors of the economy where there was no contribution ... This pension reform has several objectives: to be sustainable, to be fair and to have a spending cap as a percentage of GDP," added Citu.
