Number of new old-age retirees falls again

Earnings-related pension payments in 2019 amounted to 29 billion euros, up one billion from the year before. There were 44,500 new old-age pension retirees, marking a decrease of 9 per cent from 2018. The main reason for the drop in the number of new old-age retirees is the pension reform decision to progressively raise the retirement age.

Brexit affects our services

The withdrawal agreement includes a transition period until the end of 2020. Until then, EU’s current regulations will prevail.

Continuing under current EU regulations means, among other things, that a worker posted to Britain can be issued an A1 certificate. Earnings-related pensions are also paid to Britain as usual, and pensions earned in Britain are paid to Finland under EU regulations.
