The governmental bill implements of the announced, socalled “thirteenth” pension benefit for each retired citizen. The author estimates that the act aims at reducing income disparities in society, and the government’s bill effectively implements this social objective. This law has far-reaching financial consequences, which may cause the need for transfers in the budget and financial plans of state special purpose funds. In the author’s opinion, this may lead to an amendment of the budget law increasing the level of the budget deficit, especially if other electoral promises will be implemented or economic downturn will occur.
