GCC pensions special – April 2012

In the past few weeks, there has been a flurry of articles on the topic of pensions in the GCC. I have selected for you the most informative of these articles so you can get a helicopter view.

UAE Nationals

  • FNC recommends pension changes with payment for Nationals who resign from government once they reach 20 years of service, with no minimum age restriction set at 50 years. Current laws sets a minimum age of 50 years old to receive the pension. The article contains other details regarding the financial balance required for sustainability of the pension fund.
  • This article, like the first one, also describes discussions between the government, concerned about the financial aspects, and the FNC, who wants to highlight “the humane side of things”.
