Title: Government Reaffirms Commitment to Pension Harmonization Plan
In a significant announcement addressing the welfare of the nation’s retirees, President Masoud Pezeshkian has confirmed the continuation of the pension harmonization plan for the upcoming year. This initiative is a key part of the administration’s efforts to enhance the financial well-being of the retiree community.
A Pledge for Increased Pensions
Responding to inquiries about government programs for pension increases, President Pezeshkian stated, “The plan for harmonizing retirees’ pensions will be held again next year.” He elaborated that the implementation of this scheme will directly lead to an increase in pension payments, underscoring the government’s proactive approach to fulfilling its social responsibilities.
Honoring a Lifetime of Service
The President placed a strong emphasis on the profound respect and value accorded to retirees. “Preserving the dignity and status of retirees across the country is our primary priority and mission as public servants in the government,” he affirmed. This statement highlights the administration’s core objective of not only providing financial support but also ensuring the honored standing of retirees within society.
Aligning with National Development Goals
The pension adjustments are framed within the context of the Seventh Development Plan law. This legislation outlines a clear, multi-year roadmap for pension increases, aiming to bring retiree pensions to a specific percentage of the salary of their equivalent active employees. The government’s reaffirmation of the harmonization plan signals its commitment to working within this established legal framework to systematically improve retirees’ livelihoods and reduce their financial challenges.
