The first deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy, Iryna Konstankevych, reported that the situation with pension provision in Ukraine is very difficult.
Without revising who receives what pensions and how to change this system, the country will not be able to continue to provide stable pension payments.
In July 2024, it was reported that in Ukraine the accumulative pension system is not yet ready for implementation, as it is necessary to ensure clear legislation and development of the stock market.
The Ministry of Social Policy plans to launch an accumulative pension system from 2026. Currently, legislation and an IT system for the state accumulative fund are being developed.
