Argentina Sets 2.9% March Increase for Pensions and ANSES Benefits as Minimum Rises to About $369,673

The adjustment is triggered by INDEC’s January CPI under the monthly inflation‑indexed mobility scheme.

Overview

  • The government confirmed a 2.9% update for March under Decree 274/2024, aligning pensions, AUH and other ANSES benefits with January inflation.
  • The minimum pension moves from $359,254.35 in February to about $369,673 in March before any extras, while the maximum is projected near $2.49 million.
  • A $70,000 monthly bonus remains in place outside the base, credited automatically to minimum beneficiaries and tapering for higher haberes until a total cap of roughly $439,600.
  • AUH and AUE rise in March to around $132,839, with the same CPI-based percentage applied across other ANSES assignments.
  • ANSES already applied a 2.85% increase in February and continues payments by DNI termination, with that month’s calendar adjusted for Carnival holidays.
