Announcing the new rate at a press conference ON Thursday ( 11 January), chief actuary at SSNIT, Joseph Poku said the trust is focused on deepening it’s mandate on expanding social security needs.
“Having considered all the four factors, It is my singular honour to announce to you that we came to a rate of 15% for 2024 which will apply to all pensions in payment.”
“We want to be able to redistribute, so that those who are on the low pension bracket will be cushioned, we need to apply a mechanism called redistribution to cushion those at the lower pension bracket,” he said.
