Guernsey signs social security agreement with Latvia
BBC Radio Guernsey
An agreement on social security between the States of Guernsey and the government of the Republic of Latvia has been signed simultaneously in Guernsey and Riga.
The agreement was finalised via video conference because of the coronavirus pandemic, Guernsey States said.
Under it, people from Latvia who have lived and worked in Guernsey but had not paid enough contributions for a minimum Guernsey pension would be able to "get a small, part pension from Guernsey when they reach pension age", it said.
The States said: "Latvian workers have made a significant contribution to our economy. The agreement will put them in the same position as guest workers from the UK or Portugal, with which we have had similar arrangements for a long time."
It added that the agreement would also apply in the same way in respect of people from Guernsey who had lived and worked in the Republic of Latvia, "although this situation will be less common".
Both territories said it was hoped the agreement would take effect in spring 2021, once necessary laws were approved by both governments.
