Many pensioners can expect to see their pensions increase by about 7.5% next year, Finance Minister Christos Staikouras said on Saturday.
Staikouras said the increases would benefit 2.3 million citizens, the vast majority of whom are pensioners on low incomes.
In a television interview with private broadcaster SKAI, the minister also said that the government will legislate for the third increase in the minimum wage in first half of the new year.
