The new pension formula has brought a pension in accordance with the present-day requirements of the economy and demographics. It is very important that the rights of people who had gone into retirement under the old regulations, were not diminished, and in some cases were increased. Due to the new formula the pension formation has become much more popular and evident, as well as possibilities for future pensioners to increase it.
