Experts back that lost purchasing power of pensions
The committee proposes that benefits can never go higher than the CPI
The retirement age will reach age 67 in 2027, as planned

The time when pensions are guaranteed, at least on paper, the purchasing power coming to an end. The vast majority of the dozen experts that the government has commissioned a report to realize the next Social Security reform are committed to end the pensions update linked to the consumer price index (CPI). To replace, advocating a formula that automatically update each year taking into account the health of the system. Now, raise limits: if the result of the equation is important downs off, they will never be of such caliber that pensions stop "sufficient" if what is are substantial increases, put a cap: the CPI. Translation: In the best case, pensioners can only aspire to preserve their purchasing power, and most times, especially in a crisis like the present, with unemployment at 27%, they will lose.
Today, in what will be his last meeting, experts will study the report "provisional", which has had access COUNTRY prepared by the group's president, Victor Perez Diaz. There may be some modification and incorporate some more content. The final report, whatever it is, will be sent to Congress and the social partners, for the government to negotiate with them the final reform needs to be ready in late September.
In the text, 29 pages, we propose a definition of the sustainability factor, the sole objective of this reform demanded by Brussels, and calls its entry into force as early as 2014, but left open the option to apply in 2019. This, according to the majority of the committee will consist of a dual mechanism, firstly, updated each year the pension of retired and with income and Social Security costs, and on the other, adjust benefits who have to retire after the reform as life expectancy. All this with a claim: restrain spending to "sustainable" system. The committee proposes no changes in the statutory retirement age, which is the delay to 67 years in 2027.
One of the novelties of this reform - "Why did not before?" Laments the report, is that not only affect future pensioners, but so will the current. And it will do to change the annual update.
At this point, the proposed formula, which is based on income and expenditure of the system, resulting in times like the present pension cuts. And this, in response to the economic outlook and the worst predictions about the labor market (the determining factor in the Social Security accounts), is unlikely to improve in the medium term. To avoid this, the committee itself suggests that this can not happen if affect current retirees or those close to retirement and asked that when the equation is negative, at least ensure that the nominal amount of the pension. What is not considered is to maintain purchasing power. It can be inferred, therefore, that in coming years the bet is for a devaluation of pensions, as supported by the 2020 report.
This advice is complemented by another, that of putting a limit on the climbs when the annual update equation becomes a major increase and sets the ceiling in the CPI. "The savings for pensions not climb above the CPI would be allocated to a reserve fund that [...] could be taken out funds in times of recession and ensure that resulting from applying the reduction formula is less or even not exist. "
Since the early 90s, have been guaranteed pension purchasing power. This was the norm with a government of José María Aznar in 1997. Since then, almost always pensions have risen as much as the prices (even in the early years of the minimum Zapatero rose well above the rest). This alone has led to an average annual increase of expenditure for the system 2,000 million (more than the fact that new retirees are entitled to higher benefits than those who die). The rule was broken for the benefit of pensioners twice with Aznar and Zapatero in 2009. With the crisis, the rule was broken in 2011 and 2012, leaving the law on paper.
