Mubarak Rashed Al Mansoori, Chairman of the General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA), led the board’s third meeting of the year on June 25, 2025, where key decisions were made on investment strategies and budget approvals amid a notable rise in contributors and registered employers.
During the session, held in the presence of board members and subsidiary committees, Al Mansoori welcomed attendees before discussions began on the meeting agenda. The board reviewed and approved the minutes of the previous meeting, along with leadership decisions and committee recommendations from the Human Resources, Investment, Audit and Risk, and Development teams.
Central to the meeting was the approval of the investment sector’s strategy and GPSSA’s final budget for 2024, aligned with endorsements from the UAE Council of Ministers. The board also reviewed GPSSA’s financial performance report for April 2025 and updates on the Ma’ashi digital platform.
Latest statistics from May 2025 show an increase in GPSSA contributors to 157,979 — up by over 27,000 from the same period last year. Employer registrations also rose to 20,288, an increase of 3,762.
The number of pensioners reached 21,417, while the value of pensions disbursed in May 2025 amounted to AED478.7 million, reflecting a year-on-year increase of AED27.4 million. Beneficiaries also rose slightly to 8,408.
The figures underscore ongoing growth in the UAE’s pension and social security landscape, as GPSSA continues to strengthen its strategic and operational frameworks.
