Belarus adopts social insurance amendments

A legislative act amending the regulations on state social insurance and pension provision has been adopted by the country's Supreme Council. The Presidential Decree introduces amendments to the existing provisions, clarifying the contribution procedures, benefit amounts, and pension payment terms. The new document comes into force on October 1, 2025, and provides more flexible conditions for recalculating pension payments depending on the length of work experience and the applicant's age. These changes are considered a step towards improving the efficiency of the pension system and enhancing citizens' social protection.
