During the transition period spanning from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2027, individuals who cease making personal savings deposits will see their self-funded contributions and associated investment returns transferred directly to a bank account, exempt from additional taxes or deductions. Furthermore, the state and SODRA contributions are returned to SODRA and reclassified as pension accounting units, thereby augmenting the recipient’s future retirement pension. The accrual of these supplementary pension accounting units yields a measurable benefit.
On average, the addition of such a unit increases the monthly state and SODRA payments received by the population by approximately 2,600 euros. To date, the total amount transferred into the SODRA reserve fund has reached 272 million euros. Regarding participation trends, data from SODRA indicates that during the initial phase, a substantial portion of participants discontinued their savings.
Specifically, records show that in the second quarter of 2026, approximately one in every two individuals paused their regular savings activities. These mechanisms highlight the ongoing management and restructuring of the national pension framework, emphasizing how historical contributions remain integral to future pension security within the SODRA system.
