Egypt to Disburse August 2026 Pensions with 15% Rise for 11.5 Million Recipients

Egypt's National Social Insurance Authority announced that pension payments for August 2026 will begin on 1 August. Around 11.5 million retirees and pension‑eligible citizens will receive the new disbursements, which incorporate a 15 percent annual increase – the highest rise since the policy’s inception – with the maximum individual boost capped at 2,505 EGP.

The increase is expected to cost roughly 70 billion Egyptian pounds per year. Beneficiaries can check their entitlement online through the Authority’s portal by entering their national ID. Payments will be made through a wide network that includes bank ATMs, branches of participating banks, Egyptian post offices and mobile‑based digital wallets.
