Pensions in the Republic of Moldova have increased starting April 1, 2026, following an indexation of 6.84% and an additional fixed rise of 51.33 lei.
Authorities apply indexation annually to all categories of pensions, including those in the public system and special pensions. They also extend this adjustment to disability benefits, veterans’ allowances, and other social payments.
After recalculation, the minimum old-age pension reaches 3,264.66 lei. For individuals who have contributed for at least 40 years, authorities raise it to 3,525.72 lei.
Disability pensions vary depending on the degree of disability. Payments range from 1,632.33 lei for moderate disability to 2,448.50 lei for severe disability.
Authorities have also introduced a support mechanism for people whose pensions remain below the minimum level. The state covers the difference through a solidarity supplement financed from the state budget.
At the same time, authorities recalculate state social allowances, which now range between 1,305.86 lei and 5,060.23 lei per month, depending on the beneficiary category.
The government based the 6.84% indexation coefficient on the inflation rate recorded at the end of last year, reflecting increases in consumer prices.
According to estimates, authorities need more than 2 billion lei to finance these increases. They will allocate about 1.5 billion lei from the state social insurance budget, over 514 million lei from the state budget, and around 300 million lei for the fixed increase granted to all pensioners.
