Yields make it possible to build up the reserves required by law, to involve the active members by paying them generous interests (at least the minimum interest rate in force), to partially finance retirement pensions and finally to ensure the growth and solid development of the pension fund.

As of 2017, the minimum interest rate is set at 1%.
