Easter stipend increased by €60
The Easter stipend for low-income pensioners will increase to €250, President Nikos Christodoulides announced on Wednesday after a cabinet meeting.
He specified the measure would be very important for almost 14,000 low-income pensioners.
The stipend will go up from €190 to €250.
Christodoulides underlined the decision was taken in line with measures to combat increasing prices.
The president also said that he convened a cabinet meeting for Monday afternoon, calling on each minister to present an overview of the core issues and measures they are taking.
“I want you to be well prepared for your presentation. That’s why the meeting will take place in the afternoon, so there is time for each person to present.
“Those of you who will be away must send the necessary material.”
On the Recovery and Resilience plan, Christodoulides said the payment request for the second and third tranche of funding have been submitted.
“I want to see where the other milestones are because there must not be any delay on the issue.”
