Cost of Living Adjustment for US dollar track in April 2024 = 3.4%
The FAFICS proposal to the Pension Board, advocating an inflation adjustment for Small Pensions, received strong support from the Board during its Seventy-sixth session (21-22 February 2024). The CEPA agreed to provide background information and suggestions to remedy the lack of inflation adjustments to small pensions. The financial implications await the results of the 31 December 2023 actuarial results. It is expected that in 2025, further financial analysis and alternative solutions can be presented to the Board by the Pension Administration.
