Some 865,000 recipients of pensions lower than HRK 3,200 will be given a one-off bonus of HRK 145 this year, the Croatian government decided on Wednesday.
The government today tasked the Croatian Pension Insurance Institute (HZMO) to secure funds for those bonuses from the profit made by legal entities established by the HZMO.
Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor said that the one-off bonus payment would not affect the budget expenditure, as it would be secured from the profit of HRK 125 million which the companies established by the HZMO had made.
