Colpensiones to hold technical meetings on pension transfer decree

Jaime Dussán, president of Colpensiones, announced meetings and technical tables with sector actors to discuss Decree 0415 of 2026, which governs the transfer of $25 trillion from private funds to Colpensiones. He specified that $20 trillion will go to current contributors and $5 trillion to pensioners. He noted that around 109,000 people have been transferred, with nearly 24,000 now receiving monthly payments.

In an interview with La FM, Jaime Dussán explained that the decree sets mechanisms for private funds to transfer resources in TES, as they lack bank-to-bank funds. "They told us they don't have the funds for bank-to-bank transfer. Colpensiones receives them in TES to deposit them in accounts with Fiduprevisora," he specified.

Dussán emphasized that those resources should already be in Colpensiones but have not arrived. "Precisely those resources should already be in Colpensiones accounts, but they haven't entered." Once transferred, they will be managed by the National Government through a fund run by the Banco de la República, awaiting Ley 2381 and Constitutional Court reviews.

Currently, Colpensiones pays pensions using funds from the General Nation Budget (PGN) and contributions, exceeding $78 trillion, with no payment issues. "We have no difficulty paying pensions. As more resources arrive, PGN funds will decrease," he stated.

The executive announced an imminent meeting with the Labor Ministry and the Financial Superintendency at 3:30 p.m. in Bogotá to implement the decree.
