Pensions, Manageritalia: "Cutting equalization means cutting confidence in the system."

(Adnkronos) – "The latest intervention in pension equalization not only impacts pensioners' incomes, but also risks compromising a key element for the sustainability of the system: trust in the pension pact between the state and citizens." This is Manageritalia's position, expressed on the sidelines of the hearing on the Budget Law by Marco Ballarè, President of Manageritalia, Vice President of Cida, and on this occasion head of the Confederation's delegation.

"Repeatedly changing the rules," Ballarè continues, "will create uncertainty not only among those already retired, but also among those currently working, and especially among young people. A sustainable pension system must also be credible, fair, and predictable over time. This is why we have called for the elimination of Article 55 and the maintenance of the current system of revaluation by brackets." 

According to Itinerari Previdenziali-Cida calculations, a pensioner earning €5.500 gross per month would have accumulated a loss of approximately €96 since 2012, due to the lack of full inflation adjustments. This would add approximately €1.530 in 2027.

Manageritalia also emphasizes the need to protect contractual supplementary pension plans, avoiding measures to improve pension portability that could undermine a model built through decades of collective bargaining, dating back to 1956. 

"Pension provision," Ballarè concludes, "isn't just a budget item. It's a long-term commitment across generations. Financial sustainability is essential, but equally essential are regulatory certainty, fairness, and trust.

And already today, there are many unretired managers, including young ones, who ask us to both advocate for and understand more about their future pensions, so much so that we have expanded our consulting services. Manageritalia therefore calls for a comprehensive, long-term vision of public and supplementary pension provision, capable of ensuring sustainability without undermining the trust of workers, retirees, and future generations.
