The Colombian Constitutional Court declared the bulk of the 2024 pension reform legal but deferred its implementation to April 1, 2027. [^1]

Senator Andrés Forero stated that the Centro Democrático party is working on a new pension reform bill to address the problems left by the Gustavo Petro administration. [^2]

Private fund workers earning between 1.5 and 2.3 minimum wages will see their pensions calculated using a fixed public formula, resulting in a 16% to 48% increase depending on their specific salary level. [^3]

The reform introduces specific measures for women, including a reduction of required contribution weeks by 25 per year until 2036, a 30% state subsidy on savings compared to 20% for men, and an early disability pension age of 50. [^4]

Workers earning more than 2.3 minimum wages (over 4,027,081 pesos monthly in 2026) in the public Colpensiones system will lose the ability to contribute beyond that threshold. [^5]

Andrés Forero said the party intends to maintain positive aspects of the previous pension system while changing elements to solve problems for millions of Colombians. [^6]

The Centro Democrático reform proposal focuses on restoring freedom of choice within the pensional system. [^7]

Andrés Forero stated that the party will maintain the 'Colombia Mayor' solidarity pillar, which was originally created by President Álvaro Uribe. [^8]
