Kirill Tremasov: "It is pointless to consider pension reform in separation from the economy"

"I do not consider myself a deep specialist in pension reform, but life and professional experience (at one time actively participated in the management of pension accumulations and promoting this topic to the masses) and monitoring the endless throwing of the state in reforming the pension system allow the following theses," the former head of the department of macroeconomic forecasting writes on Facebook Ministry of Economic Development.

"1. No voluntary pension funds will work effectively for us (only mandatory!); For the voluntary system, it seems to me, another level of income is needed-two to three times higher.

2. Now, when significant resources are formed, and the government cannot decide how to spend the FNB, it's time to think about defrosting the funded pension system; The presence of long pension savings directly meets the tasks of the transition to an investment growth model.

3. Close data on preferential categories of pensioners; There are great suspicions that the eternal unbalance of pension income and expenses is largely related to these benefits (a separate question about the justice of these benefits).

4. Well, of course, it is pointless to consider pension reform in isolation from the economy; So far we will not return to the trajectory of sustainable growth 3.5-4%, the pension topic will remain eternal headache. "
