Performance Index Center  Efficiency recommends temporarily withdrawing the Social Security Law

Khaberni - The Performance Index Center - Efficiency submitted a strategic reformative proposal for the Social Security Law project through a letter addressed to His Excellency the Chairman of the Labor, Social Development, and Population Committee at the House of Representatives, Deputy Andre Hawari. The center emphasized in its letter the importance of pausing and not conducting direct votes on the current consensus amendments and recommended temporarily withdrawing the law to the government, strengthened with recommendations from the committee, with the aim of subjecting all parliamentary proposals to actuarial simulation and stress testing. 

The proposal according to the letter includes three strategic axes aimed at addressing structural distortions in the retirement system:

-    A decreasing subscription system, by introducing a mechanism to gradually reduce subscription rates (currently 21.75%) upon fulfilling the conditions for early retirement, to encourage the continuation of expertise in the labor market.
-    Governance of the retirement salary equation by transitioning from the "average of the last years" to an equation that includes the entire professional career, linked to inflation rates, to ensure fairness and prevent illogical salary jumps before retirement.
-    Protecting the purchasing power by adding a legal clause that mandates reflecting the annual inflation level on all figures and salary caps in the law periodically.
The center confirmed in its letter its readiness to conduct these technical tests as soon as raw data is available, to ensure the building of precise reformative perspectives away from traditional solutions.
