Romania PM advisor warns pension system faces major shock from 2029 as decreței retire

Ionuț Dumitru, advisor to PM Ilie Bolojan, warns Romania's public pension system will face increasing financial strain from 2029 as large 'decreței' generations retire, though he rules out collapse. He advises prudent pension indexation in 2027 and deems raising the standard retirement age premature while early-exit categories remain. The warning signals potential fiscal pressure and policy debate ahead.
