A 95% increase in Egyptian pensions over the past seven years is now being realized by millions of retirees, with payments for April 2026 reflecting substantial increases to both minimum and maximum benefit levels.
The National Insurance Authority confirmed that disbursement of the increased benefits began Wednesday, April 1, 2026 and will continue through the end of the month. The changes stem from an ambitious insurance reform plan launched by the government in 2019, aimed at bolstering financial security for pensioners.
