Danylo Hetmantsev, a member of the Verkhovna Rada from the Servant of the People faction, chairman of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax and customs policy, categorically supports the launch of the next pension reform (funded pensions).
He said this in an interview with Ukrainian News Agency.
"I categorically support the launch of the next level of pension reform. If we had introduced it 20 years ago, we could have already talked about the results and adjusted them. And so we are still flying in some kind of dreams and are having an absolutely absurd discussion," the MP said.
The chairman of the finance committee said that the pension reform should have been launched 20 years ago and criticized the constant search for reasons for its postponement.
He emphasized that the pension reform is closely related to the development of the stock market.
"We must make decisions on pension reform regardless of anything. And we must definitely simultaneously deal with both the stock market and pension reform, strengthening the institutionally incompetent regulator," he stressed.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the first savings within the framework of the introduction of a funded pension system should begin in 2026.
