49. During 1984-1989, the disparities among the average benefits of the various government retirement funds decreased somewhat. The average level of BPS benefits experienced a relative increase and those of the military and police funds were reduced. Despite this, there are still significant differences. In 1989, the average monthly pension from BPS was US$76, while the average pension from the military fund was US$183. The lower BPS average payment is partly explained by the lower level of the old-age pension, a program without funding and with relative easy access for people over 65. Other BPS fL/ The highest percentage increases for low-income pensioners were issued in April 1985 and April 1986 (decrees Nos. 137/985 and 139/986). In 1985, when the inflation adjustment was of the order of 66 percent, increases fluctuated between 33 percent for the highest pensions and 77 percent for the lowest
(142 percent for old-age pensions). In 1986, when the adjustment that was due was on the order of 108 percent, the differential increases varied between 30 percent and 120 percent an average increase of 85 percent. The legal basis for this policy of differential increases was highly debated at that time
and finally, in November 1989, Parliament enacted legislation on this subject, repealing the differential increases that had been granted earlier (Law 16,068 of October 4, 1989), thus, in fact, providing for retroactive adjustments for high pensions. Programs have higher averages. There were also large differences between the average BPS pension and those from the **parastatal funds.**
