Argentina Sets February Minimum Pension at $359,079 After CPI-Tied 2.8% Increase

The new floor reflects the CPI-linked mobility formula, with a decision on February's bonus still pending.

Overview

  • ANSES confirmed the February base amount of 359,079.70 pesos and clarified that it excludes any extraordinary refuerzo.
  • The government has not announced whether a bonus will be paid in February or what parameters would apply.
  • January benefits rose 2.47% under the mobility scheme, which updates amounts using INDEC inflation with a two‑month lag.
  • ANSES continues the January payment calendar through January 29, assigning dates by DNI and separating minimum from higher-benefit recipients.
  • In recent months the 70,000‑peso bonus was paid in full to minimum retirees and tapered for higher haberes, a precedent that informs expectations but is unconfirmed for February.
