TIRANA, October 1/ATA/ Today, there enters into force the government decision on indexation of pensions at a rate of 2.5% for over 753 thousand pensioners.
There will be indexation for all categories of beneficiaries, including old-age, disability, family pensions, as well as special financial treatments for military personnel, miners, military industry employees and persons with constitutional functions or scientific titles.
The main goal of indexation is to preserve the purchasing power of pensions versus price increases and the effects of inflation.
The government has also set minimum and maximum limits for full old-age and disability pensions. Beginning from October 1, 2025, the pensions will not be less than 18,335 lekë and not more than 36,670 lekë per month. For former members of agricultural cooperatives, the minimum pension limit will be 12,554 lekë, while the maximum will be 18,335 lekë.
The social pension will also increase to 9,953 lekë per month, while the same amount will also be valid as a basic pension for those who complete the insurance period as defined by law.
The financial effects of this decision are estimated at 1.14 billion lekë, which will be covered by the fund for pension indexation policies provided for in the budget of the Social Insurance Institute.
The government aims to achieve an average pension of 400 euros for individuals who have fully contributed to the social security system and a minimum pension of 200 euros by 2030.
