Romania introduces partial early retirement pension in 2026 Romania will allow salaried workers who have completed the full contribution period or exceeded it by up to eight years to retire up to five years before the standard retirement age. The pension will be reduced according to the number of months of early withdrawal and the length of service. Eligibility excludes periods counted as invalidity, university studies, or military service. The pension will convert to a standard age pension once the withdrawal period ends. The measure aims to give workers more flexibility while ensuring long‑term sustainability.
