Algiers – The Algerian Council of Ministers, under the leadership of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, has approved new increases in pensions and retirement benefits. The move is aimed at improving the purchasing power of pensioners and strengthening the social character of the state.
According to decisions made during the council meeting, a 10 percent increase has been approved for pensioners receiving a pension or retirement benefit equal to or less than 20,000 Algerian dinars. A 5 percent increase has been approved for pensioners whose monthly income exceeds this threshold.
These increases follow a series of previous measures that have affected the guaranteed minimum wage. The increases are part of a broader social policy aimed at protecting vulnerable groups and supporting them in the face of the rising cost of living.
DZWatch will continue to monitor this developing story and provide updates as they become available.
This decision reflects the government’s commitment to social justice and its ongoing efforts to improve the living standards of all Algerians, particularly those on fixed incomes.
