Hungary’s Orban says government to launch pension top-up from January 1

BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Tuesday his government would launch a pension top-up from January 1, stepping up his political campaign ahead of elections in 2026.

Orban said in a Facebook post that the so called “14th-month pension” would be introduced in several steps. Faced with a prolonged economic stagnation, Orban has announced tax cuts for families, wage hikes, a massive housing loan programme and other measures ahead of the election.
