Spain: Social Security confirms retirement at 65 for workers with 38+ years of contributions in 2026

Spain's Social Security system confirms that workers with 38 years and 3 months of contributions can retire at age 65 in 2026, as part of the gradual pension reform. This is a routine administrative confirmation of existing policy, not a new development. The announcement clarifies eligibility criteria for upcoming retirees, but has no immediate market impact.
