Congress Sends Eighth AFP Withdrawal Law to Boluarte for Promulgation

The SBS now has up to 30 days to set the procedure before AFPs open requests, with first payments projected for November.

Overview

  • Congress President José Jerí signed the autógrafa authorizing withdrawals of up to 4 UIT (S/21,400) from private pension accounts and forwarded it for presidential promulgation.
  • President Dina Boluarte has publicly backed the measure and is not expected to object, clearing the way for swift publication in El Peruano.
  • The law mandates SBS regulation within 30 days, a 90‑day window for affiliates to file requests, and disbursements in up to four monthly installments of 1 UIT each, starting 30 days after a request.
  • Experts and the MEF estimate requests could open in early October and the first deposits would likely land in November, with subsequent monthly payments through February 2026.
  • Withdrawn funds remain intangible except for judicial or conventional retentions for alimentary debts up to 30%, and the package also scraps mandatory contributions for independents and restores the 95.5% withdrawal option at retirement.
