Diario Oficial publishes Ley 21.735 mixed pension reform after a right bargain
On 26 March 2025 Chile’s Diario Oficial published Ley 21.735, creating a mixed pension pillar and a social-security contribution, with a phased PGU increase. Congress had approved a Chile Vamos-negotiated text in January 2025; the president promulgated after Constitutional Court review. In the causal graph this event strengthens Household Purchasing Power, a driver that weakens Global Consumer Price Inflation (annual %) — a worsening welfare path.

On 26 March 2025 Chile’s Diario Oficial published Ley 21.735, creating a mixed pension pillar and a social-security contribution, with a phased PGU increase. Congress had approved a Chile Vamos-negotiated text in January 2025; the president promulgated after Constitutional Court review.
Context
The bill entered Congress on 7 November 2022. Jeannette Jara, then labour minister, is an unresolved person candidate. He did not sit as every AFP clerk.
