It eats into their purchasing power, harms the profitability of their savings and therefore attacks their woolen stockings quite mechanically. Transport is more expensive, due to the increase in fuel prices, construction sites become more difficult to carry out because certain materials become too expensive and therefore difficult to find.
Fortunately for retirees and recipients of social benefits, the Head of State and his government have planned a number of measures.
