Greece delays pension age hike to 2030 as life expectancy stagnates post-pandemic

Greece's new sustainability study will reassess the automatic link between retirement age and life expectancy after 65. The 2024 actuarial study projected a 1.5-year increase from 2027 to 2030, but the Labour Ministry sees no substantial post-pandemic life expectancy gains and postpones any change until 2030 unless new data shows acceleration. This delays a politically sensitive fiscal adjustment, with implications for Greece's long-term budget sustainability.
