Consultation process on the long-term viability of our pension system
At a press conference on 4 October 2024, Martine Deprez, Minister for Health and Social Security, presented the consultation process on the long-term sustainability of our pension system.
In accordance with the coalition agreement, a broad consultation is being organised with civil society in order to reach a consensus on this issue. The latest technical assessment of the pension insurance system, dated 26 April 2022, revealed that the current contribution rate of 24% (3 x 8%) will be insufficient to cover the amount of annual pensions from 2027 onwards. Hence the need for consultation on the state of the system and on possible options for adjustment to be considered with all stakeholders and the general public.
