Palestinian Private Sector Pension System

The Portland Trust has worked to establish a private sector pension system to help secure the financial future of retirees, inject long-term capital into the market, and stimulate economic growth. In September 2016, the Palestinian President ratified relevant legislation which allows for the establishment of a new pension system. The Social Security Corporation has been established to manage the social security programme. The Portland Trust continues to liaise with stakeholders and will assess the further support it can provide to ensure successful implementation.
