Bahrain Mirror: A local newspaper reported that the Government referred to the House of Representatives new amendments to the pension law that included opinions made previously to the House of Representatives.
Among the proposals made by the government is increasing the retirement age, raising the contributions to 27% and stopping the annual increase for retirees after 7 years.
