The Government very much looks forward to the possible early meeting of
the National Reform Council under the chairmanship of the President of Ukraine
which will focus on the discussion of the Government's draft pension reform,
thereafter will submit it to the Parliament for further consideration. This was
stated by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman during communication
with journalists on Thursday.
«We are waiting for consideration (of the draft reform) by the National
Reform Council and then we will send the aforesaid draft reform to the
Parliament for discussion by MP’s, said the Prime Minister. I would like to put
an emphasis that it is a fair pension reform. Thus, 9 million out of 12 million
retirees will feel positive changes. It is not only in 2017. This system will
perform also in 2018, 2019 as well as in the following years.»
