Pensions: Macron “open” to postpone age to 64 with extension of contribution period

Invited to France 2, the Head of State did not rule out postponing the age of majority to 64, provided that the contribution period is extended at the same time.

On the pension reform, “65 years is not a dogma,” declared Emmanuel Macron during the presidential campaign. Invited this Wednesday on France 2, the Head of State confirmed his position, saying that he was “open” to a postponement of the legal exit age to 64 years, with the condition of extending the duration of the contribution at the same time .

“If some (social partners, editor’s note) say ‘we are ready to go until 64, but in return, if you make this gesture, we are ready to work a few more quarters’, because there are other ways to do it, it is not only the legal age, it is to work a few more quarters, I am open,” said Emmanuel Macron.

“Everything is that our model has been put back on its feet, if I may say so, and that we, the assets, are financing the retirement of our retirees well,” he added.
