What changed and who it applies to

What changed
It replaces art. 32 of Ley 24.241: pension benefits are updated MONTHLY according to the change in the General Level of the National Consumer Price Index (CPI) of INDEC, replacing the quarterly formula of Ley 27.609 (2021). It includes a guarantee that applying the index cannot reduce the benefit. The new formula applies from the July 2024 benefits, with a transition (an extraordinary 12.5% increase and CPI advances in April-June 2024). Congress enacted an alternative adjustment law that the Executive fully vetoed by Decreto 782/2024 (Official Gazette 09/02/2024), so the adjustment remains governed by DNU 274/2024. verif Mar 22, 2024 ↗

Our reading

The Government tied the pension adjustment to the monthly CPI inflation: when inflation falls, the adjustment stops diluting the benefit and tracks it closely month by month. It is a piece of the fiscal anchor (R1/R6): it eliminates the formula that generated jumps and mismatches, and makes pension spending predictable. The guarantee of not reducing the benefit shields the floor. What we watch: the real benefit depends on disinflation holding; the Executive defended the rule by vetoing Congress's alternative law (Decreto 782/2024). thesis
