Here’s what will change in the Solidary Contribution Scheme 

Your pension will move in line with the economy 

This means that we will be able to increase your pension quicker when the economy is doing well. However, if the economy isn’t doing so well, we will also be able to reduce your pension.  

Agreements to minimise pension reductions

We will reduce the level of risk in our investments as you approach your retirement age or when you’re retired. We will spread out the investment results for pensioners over several years. And there is a reserve fund to minimise pension reductions for pensioners.
