He pension expert Santiago Romera has participated in a debate within the television program The sixth xplicawhere he has been blunt about the retirement age in Spain. He has assured that, if things do not change, in 2025 “age fine of retirement would be 72 years ”because the country is increasingly aged and the rise in the cost of life.
Romera warns that “the bull has not been taken by the horns, it is patching and what is missing is a structural solution.” During his speech, he has proposed a simple calculation “if we look from now on.” “This year 2025, to retire you must have reached 66 years with 8 months But that data is wrong, the ‘fine’ data is 68 years ”.
And continuing with the statistics, he explains that “if we reach 2050, when we see it with a vision of the future that is what interests us above all for us and for those who come behind, if everything remains the same and unchanged, the fine age would be 72”.
