ISSUER GREAT NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
Published in OFFICIAL BULLETIN no. 36 36 of 4 July 1988



The great achievements achieved in the economic and social development of the country, the transformations that took place in the modernization of the production forces and the technical-material basis, the dynamism and vigour of the national economy ensure the necessary conditions for permanent lifting of the material and spiritual well-being of the citizens of the homeland, the ultimate goal of our party and state policy. According to the decisions of the 13th Congress and the National Conference of the Romanian Communist Party, corresponding to the economic and social development of the country, the state social insurance pensions of up to 3,000 lei monthly are to be increased, in average by 8 percent, achieving higher increases in small pensions, as well as pensions for loss of work capacity and pensions of war invalids. The pension increase will benefit more than 97 percent of all state social insurance pensioners, as well as war invalids. The new measures to increase pensions reflect the consistent policy of the party and our state to ensure ever better conditions of life for those who have done a long work in work, to harmoniously merge the income obtained directly from work with those in social security funds. For the purpose of regulating measures to increase pensions in the current five years, The Great National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Romania adopts this law. + Article 1 (1) The state social insurance pensions for their work and the age limit of up to 3,000 lei monthly increase on average by 8 percent, granting large increases to small pensions.
