Lukashenko Signs Decree to Boost Retiree Engagement in Economy
President Alexander Lukashenko has signed decree No.350, aiming to boost the engagement of state civil servants in their work post-retirement. The decision, set to come into effect on January 1, 2026, seeks to better utilise their professional skills within the country's economy.
The decree, signed on October 1, 2025, abolishes restrictions on pension payments for state civil servants who have reached retirement age but continue to work. This move aligns with a previous decree, No.402, signed by Lukashenko on October 29, 2024, which abolished similar restrictions effective January 1, 2025.
Historically, such regulations date back to October 1, 1946, when Joseph Stalin signed a decree, No. 350, introducing limitations on pension payments for working retirees. This new decree reverses that regulation, allowing retirees to continue contributing to the economy without financial penalty.
The abolition of pension payment restrictions for working state civil servants is expected to encourage more retirees to remain in the workforce, thereby enriching the country's economic landscape. This decision, effective January 1, 2026, marks a significant shift in pension policy, building upon previous reforms.
