Al-Sabahi Confirms Pension Increase Is Legal Right
Insurance and social protection expert, Musa Al-Subihe, confirmed that the enforcement of Article 89/A of the Social Security Law, which stipulates raising the minimum basic pensions and disability pensions, should be carried out independently of the upcoming amended draft law. He explained that the article allows for reviewing the minimum benefit every five years and is an important safeguard for preserving the purchasing power of retirees with low pensions. It should be implemented immediately, with retroactive adjustments starting from 2026. He pointed out that increasing the basic pension, according to the article, directly impacts inflation and dependency increases, and must be executed separately from legislation still under review.
