The National Retirement Authority confirmed that retirees’ salaries are fully secured, while calling on all banks to complete the procedures for disbursing retirement salaries.
The Authority stated in a statement that “some social media sites have circulated different news and explanations about the reasons for the delay in disbursing retirees’ salaries for the month of January 2025,” reassuring “all retirees that their salaries are fully secured, and there is no shortage of financial liquidity that covers salaries.”
He added, “All that has been circulated is nothing but speculation that is not based on any foundation, and is far from the truth and reality.”
In contrast, MP Mustafa Sand warned of the existence of a real crisis in the file of financing and distributing salaries of state employees. Sand said that there is a major crisis in the file of salaries and it is expected that Iraq will be unable to pay salaries every month, suggesting that they will be delivered every 45 days, while he attributed the defect to errors in the three-year budget.
