Dear Members,

Many of you will be hoping for increases in your pension payments, most after some hiaitus.

2. Below is a summary of information we know so far for 2022.

3. We shall start with the country where most of our members live.

ITALY

4. The change of Consumer Price index (CPI) to be applied to the local track of Italy will be 5.3% in the April 2022 Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) update, which has been derived by comparing the December 2021 CPI against the last implemented CPI of December 2017.

Dear Members,

As many of you may have seen, some individuals have recently circulated a petition regarding Pension Fund investments.

FFOA believes that it is an unnecessary alarm.

The Investment Section is short a couple of staff, so they are farming out for a short time a small amount, all approved in accordance with proper procedures, which brought us an 11.1% return on investments last year.

FFFOA Newsflash 33-- Medical Premiums for FAO Retirees

Following the FAO tender fpr BMIP/MMBP medical insurance which was awarded to CIGNA, FAO has now announced the Insurance Premiums for 2020 in Admin Circular 2019/10.

Following the decision of the three Rome based Agencies to extend the contract of Allianz Worldwide Care (AWC) for the administration of the medical plans of the three Agencies for two years (2018 and 2019), there will be an adjustment in premiums to be paid by staff and retirees. The increase in premiums to be paid by staff of WFP and IFAD will be approximately 4.4% on both the Euro and US Dollar plans (the original increase was to have been 7.5% but has been reduced to 4.4% by using funds in the profit sharing account).

Dear Members,

As internet users, we have to be continuously mindful of our accounts, emails and browsing activities and be on the alert for suspicious links or sites. During peak holiday periods, we should be particularly careful.

When users feel overly secure they are more likely to open an unfamiliar email, enter their personal details (e.g. full name, email addresses, password), or click on sites carelessly.
