The decree issued by His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, increases the minimum pension of retirees in Sharjah to Dh17,500 per month. The decision is part of an initiative to enhance the financial stability of retirees and improve their quality of life. This increased pension aligns with Sheikh Sultan’s commitment to social welfare and support for Sharjah’s citizens.
The move was made after unveiling a supplementary grant that would go towards increasing pension amounts for interested people. The retirement grant ensures its recipients lead their post-retirement life in secure and dignified conditions, reflecting an Emirate genuinely committed to people. The measures have been positively welcomed by citizens, who get much-needed succor in facing the rising cost of living.
The current administration in Sharjah continues to push for programs that uplift its community, especially the elderly. Financial needs are covered through initiatives like this, which make the government further reinforce its vision of inclusivity and sustainable development. The pension adjustment will benefit a good number of retirees in the Emirate, thereby equipping them to meet everyday needs better.
As the news emerges, social pundits have lauded Sheikh Sultan for his visionary decision to implement policies that prioritize citizens’ long-term well-being. In its third decree, Sharjah again sets a yardstick for promoting social welfare and financial protection for its citizens.
