How Will Delayed Pension Indexing Impact Belgian Retirees?

- Higher care home fees
- Potential financial strain on retirees
As this change approaches, retirees must prepare for potential financial challenges. Staying informed about these developments is crucial for managing your finances effectively in the coming years.
