Seven-month retiree surge to record
The Social Security Corporation witnessed the addition of approximately 22,000 new retirees during the first seven months of 2026, with expectations that the total will reach around 37,000 by the end of the year—an unprecedented record. Early retirement accounts for about 65% of these new retirees, and the retirement bill for 2026 is estimated at approximately 2.2 billion dinars. These figures threaten the stability of the social insurance system and necessitate the development of a strategy to increase the number of contributors by no less than 6% annually, along with a halt to government-sponsored early retirement.
