Prime Minister: The next challenge for the Government after an increase of the minimum wage twofold is a fair pension system
The Government is elaborating decisions to change
the pension system in Ukraine
to make it
fairer and more efficient. This was stated by Prime Minister of Ukraine
Volodymyr Groysman on answering journalists' questions in Paris.
“We're seeking necessary solutions to change the pension system itself
and to make it more just and more comprehensive, so that people could feel that
real incomes from pensions grew”, said Volodymyr Groysman.
The Head of Government reminded that from December 1, 2016 pensions
would be increased by 10%.
“This growth is insufficient”, said the Prime Minister. “I am not
satisfied with it, but it's a step forward”, he said.
According to Volodymyr Groysman, the next challenge for the Government
after the minimum wage will be increased twofold – up to UAH 3200 – is the introduction
of a fair pension system.
“It will also take time to find relevant decisions. Today, we are
working hard at it”, he said.
As soon as the Government finds the solution, it will immediately inform
the Ukrainian citizens, promised the Prime Minister.
