FBiH pension boost of 3.5% set for July 2026

The Board of the Federal Pension and Disability Insurance in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina approved an akontativno (preliminary) pension increase of 3.5 % effective 1 July 2026. The adjustment will be calculated on pension payments made in June 2026 and will apply to all eligible recipients, except pensions earned during 2026. The lowest and guaranteed pensions are also included in the raise.

The rate was derived using the statutory formula that weighs 60 % of average gross‑wage growth (3.7 %) and 40 % of consumer‑price‑index growth (3.2 %), resulting in 3.5 %. A final regular adjustment will be set after the first half‑year 2026 statistics are available; any higher rate will be applied retroactively from July 2026. The decision awaits formal approval by the Federation’s government.
