The document shows that the effects of economic development, the growth of both salaries and employees will determine pensions to grow with 43% in 2008.

The letter is signed by the Finance and Labor ministers and is a response to President Basescu's demand of detailed info in this regard. The head of state threatened not to sign the pensions law unless he received financial proof to sustain the measure.
