Special Retirement Bonus: Over 220,000 Retirees Now Benefit from Two-Thirds of Pension

Since September 2025, over 220,000 retirees from the public and private sectors receive a special bonus equivalent to two-thirds of their monthly pension, established by President Alassane Ouattara. Announced in August 2024, this measure aims to improve retirees' purchasing power and recognize their contributions to the country's development. In 2026, Minister Adama Kamara advocated for the sustainability of this bonus in Parliament to provide it with a lasting legal framework.
