Abecé: Is the money of pensioners who transferred to Colpensiones in danger? The pension system in Colombia is facing a crisis after the Council of State provisionally suspended Decree 415 of 2026. This decree was intended to transfer $25 billion from private pension funds to Colpensiones, aiming to secure future payments for retirees who moved from AFP to the public regime.

The government’s objective was to ensure that funds from those already retired would reach Colpensiones to finance future pension obligations.

However, the Council of State’s decision has created uncertainty for approximately 25,000 retirees whose pension payments may be affected.
