Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has officially issued a decree increasing pensions by 15% starting July 1. This measure applies to pensions under the Social Insurance and Pensions Law, as well as exceptional and partial disability benefits. Created to improve the living standards of elderly citizens and vulnerable groups, the decision arrives at a key time.
According to economic experts, this increase is intended to strengthen Egypt’s social safety nets and provide much-needed economic security to help families cope with current economic fluctuations and rising living costs.
