Another consequence of the last agreement, the purchase price of pension points is going to increase in 2017, which will decrease the performance of the plans for future retirees.

The agreement of 2015, signed by the employers (Medef, CGPME, UPA) and three trade unions (CFDT, CFE-CGC, CFTC), must achieve 6.1 billion euros in savings by 2020 to replenish the funds of the Agirc-Arrco, the heavily loss-making.

In 2014, the Arrco had approximately 18 million subscribers to 12 million pensioners. The Agirc had, it, 4 million subscribers to almost 3 million pensioners.

The basic retirement pensions have not been uprated in October due to the low inflation. They have stagnated since 2013.
