Pensions to increase by average of CZK 400 in January

The average pension in Czechia could be around CZK 20,700 from the beginning of next year, Labour Minister Marian Jurečka announced on Monday at a press conference. This will be an increase of around CZK 400 on average. He emphasised that this figure was only an estimate and that the precise numbers will only be available after September 4, when statisticians publish data on wage growth.
