Atentos jubilados: así quedarán las pensiones tras confirmación de aumento del salario mínimo al 23%
El Gobierno Nacional ha confirmado un incremento del 23% en el salario mínimo para el año 2026. Tras semanas de intensas negociaciones en la mesa tripartita que culminaron sin un consenso entre gremios y centrales obreras, el Ejecutivo optó por un ajuste basado en el concepto de "salario mínimo vital".
TL;DR
- The national government confirmed a 23% increase in the minimum wage for 2026, setting it at $1,750,905.
- Over 1.2 million pensioners receiving the minimum pension will see their income increase by the full 23%.
- Pensions above the minimum wage will be adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index, likely a smaller increase.
- The new minimum wage raises the contribution threshold for Colpensiones to approximately $4,027,000.
- State subsidies and limits for social interest housing (VIS) are also affected, with VIS housing ceilings rising.
- The increase will take effect on January 1, 2026, impacting pensions and other economic measures.
