The Hungarian government announced a significant increase to the national minimum pension, scheduled to take effect in January 2027. Under the new policy, the monthly payment will rise from the current 80 euros to 330 euros. The administration, which has been in power since May, expects the measure to impact hundreds of thousands of citizens.
This policy shift represents a fourfold increase in the minimum pension amount. The announcement was made in Budapest on August 27, establishing a multi-year timeline for the implementation of the social welfare adjustment.
