The German government's pension commission will present its proposals for reforming old-age security on June 23. The original date had been June 29.
The commission is thus concluding its work earlier than planned. This gives the governing coalition more time to prepare a reform package covering taxes, pensions, the labor market and bureaucracy before summer.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz plans a retreat on July 1 with party and parliamentary group leaders as well as key government representatives. The commission is currently holding its final vote on the recommendations.
The goal is to make the pension system future-proof so that societal aging does not overburden the pension fund. The recommendations are to be handed over to Chancellor Merz or Labor Minister Bärbel Bas.
