In November, pensioners can receive two types of additional benefits, as a pension supplement and a bonus can also be received. The government has guaranteed by law that it will preserve the purchase value of pensions, so due to rising inflation, those affected may receive another correction, it was said in M1's Ma este program. The economic situation was analyzed by Szabolcs Pásztor, the leading researcher of the Oeconomus Economic Research Foundation, as a guest of the broadcast.

Pásztor Szabolcs, the leading researcher of the Oeconomus Economic Research Foundation, said in this regard that the Hungarian economy was able to remain flexible even in the bad global economic environment, which is also the reason for the high GDP growth of 6.5 percent in the second quarter.

The expert explained that according to Hungarian legislation, if the GDP growth rate is higher than 3.5 percent, pensioners will receive a supplement after the surplus.

He noted that in the case of pensions, the government also monitors inflation, so due to the current global economic situation, the time has come for pensioners to receive compensation.

The Central Statistical Office (KSH) and the government take into account the inflation rate of the given period. For example, pensioners received a 5 percent supplement in January, and then 3.9 percent in the summer, he explained.

He added that due to the expected inflation data, pensioners will probably receive another supplement in November.

"If GDP growth remains at 6.5 percent, and if inflation rises to 13-14 percent, then an average pensioner can receive HUF 126-128 thousand in November through premium compensation"

- He told.

Szabolcs Pásztor revealed that the majority of analysts are optimistic about growth, and the MNB expects that the economic growth rate of 4.5-5.5 percent can be maintained.

As he explained, this can be inferred from the growth of the previous two quarters, which was spectacular not only in the region, but in the entire European Union.
