We have now seniors and taxpayers, and we will redistribute them to the seniors as a lot as Sodra’s taxes handle to gather within the present yr. Wanting 10-20 years forward, the outlook is just not encouraging. The delivery price is lowering. If we do not have further immigration, we’ll face challenges.

Employers needs to be concerned

“Individuals spend 3-5 p.c of their total working life. they put their wage into the fund and save vital sums following retirement – 20-40 p.c. their “Sodra” pensions. This fashion they safe the next earnings. The issue is that the choices we make regarding pensions are 10 to 30 years away. A really inert system. Accumulation has been working in Lithuania since 2004. Till now, it has been unusual greater than as soon as, there have been monetary crises and, sadly, these funds haven’t been gathered a lot. Alternatively, individuals who save usually in Lithuania, they save within the system that’s at present in pressure, and this can enable them so as to add 20-30 p.c to the “Sodra” pension. moreover, it’s, for instance, 250 euros along with 600 euros. 850 euros seems higher, however for that to occur that you must save for 20-30 years.

“Choices value cash. We have now to depend a couple of time period and suppose what would occur if we would have liked to amortize some interval. It may be, say, the darkest hour, as it’s now in Ukraine, when instantly all the things adjustments, or in a long-term sense, if there’s a demographic stress higher than our wages can catch up. Then it might be essential to keep up the identical price of pension development as we have now now. It might be essential to make use of a part of the finances funds in order that pensions proceed to develop constantly”, stated M. Navickienė.
