The quota 100 pension reform
could cost the State up to 63 billion euros in additional
expenditure in the 2019-2036 period, according to a study by the
State accountants office (RGS).
It said the cost of the reform will be around 0.2% of GDP a
year.
The quota 100 pension reform makes it possible for some
people to retire at 62 if they have 38 years of social-security
contributions.
The reform, allowing some people to retire earlier, was
passed by the previous government formed by the League and the
5-Star Movement (M5S).
It was a key manifesto pledge of the anti-migrant Euroskeptic
League party.
League leader Matteo Salvini pulled the plug on its alliance
with the M5S on August 8 and the M5S has now set up another
government with the centre-left Democratic Party (PD) and a tiny
leftwing group, Free and Equal (LeU).
Labour Minister Nunzia Catalfo, an M5S member, has ruled out
scrapping the reform but said it could be "improved".
