What does it mean that my pension will move in line with the economy?

This means your pension will follow the economy more closely. Is the economy doing well? Then your pension may increase more quickly. Is the economy not doing so well? Then your pension may also decrease more quickly. What this means for you depends on your pension scheme. 

How your pension is moving, depends on your pension

We take measures to limit up and downs in your pension. These measures differ by pension scheme. Go to the pension scheme you will have under the new pension.
