The Establishment Division expressed its consent to the proposal to increase the retirement age to 62 years to temporarily get rid of the burden of pension payments to reduce the payment burden on the exchequer.
After obtaining approval from the Ministry of Law and Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Establishment Division, the Ministry of Finance will send the summary to the Federal Cabinet for final approval.
