Algiers, December 15, 2025 – A recent decision to increase pensions and allowances for retirees has been widely praised as a reaffirmation of Algeria’s commitment to social welfare and a direct reflection of the President’s concern for this vital segment of the population.
Several labor organizations have lauded President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s directive, emphasizing its significance in solidifying the concept of a social state within Algeria. The increase in pensions is viewed as a tangible demonstration of the government’s dedication to ensuring a decent standard of living for its retired citizens.
“This is a welcome step that acknowledges the contributions of our retirees,” stated a representative from the National Union of Workers. “It underscores the government’s understanding of the challenges faced by pensioners and their commitment to alleviating those challenges.”
The move is expected to have a positive impact on the purchasing power of retirees, enabling them to better cope with the rising cost of living. Analysts suggest that the increase will also contribute to stimulating the local economy, as pensioners will have more disposable income to spend on goods and services.
The government has repeatedly affirmed its commitment to prioritizing social justice and ensuring that all citizens, including retirees, benefit from the country’s economic progress. This latest measure is seen as further evidence of that commitment, reinforcing the notion that Algeria is a nation that values its elders and recognizes their invaluable contributions to society.
The details of the pension increase, including the specific percentages and eligibility criteria, are expected to be released by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in the coming days. This will allow pensioners to fully understand the impact of the measure on their individual circumstances.
