Pension expenditures account for over 16% of GDP, and transfers from the budget to the pension system are close to 10% of GDP. We believe a reduction of pension expenditures of 1% of GDP (out of 16%) is needed, and that it can be done while protecting the poorest pensioners.”
“为什么在退休金问题上坚持？退休金和工资占初级支出的75%左右；另25%已经减到不能再减。退休金支出占GDP之比超过16%，而从预算到退休金体系的转移支付接近GDP的10%。我们认为将退休金支出减少相当于GDP的1%（总量为16%）是必要的，并且可以同时做到保护最贫困退休者。”
