early retirement and high pension; Two important issues of funds.
Aladdin Azouji, CEO of the State Pension Fund:
The share of early retirement and the retirement age situation in the country should be investigated; Because an important part of the stability of the coffers depends on the time when people leave the labor market. On the other hand, the exchange rate in Iran is about 96%; That is, the first pension is paid approximately equal to 96% of the last salary subject to deduction.
Meanwhile, the average exchange rate in the member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is about 40%. Such a difference shows that the liabilities of the pension funds in Iran are high and the relationship between the insurance premiums paid, employment rights and retirement pensions must be examined.
