$20 indexed for pensioners

According to Minister Torrealba, retirees from the public administration will receive a total of $49 a month in addition to their salaries, while pensioners will receive their pension plus $20. In both cases, the amount will be indexed to the official exchange rate to avoid loss of purchasing power.
Government committed to the elderly
