France to raise retirement age to 64 - Prime Minister Borne

PARIS – The French authorities will put ahead a draft regulation aimed toward elevating the common retirement age to 64 from 62 by 2030, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne stated on Tuesday as she laid out its reform plans throughout a information convention.

“I'm properly conscious that altering our pension system raises questions and fears among the many French folks”, Borne stated, including that's was now the federal government’s process to rally public help for the reform.

Reforming France’s pensions system was one of many key guarantees made by President Emmanuel Macron when he was first elected in 2017. The transfer is prone to set off stiff resistance from France’s labour unions and the left-wing opposition bloc.
