Ukraine’s National Commission on Securities and Stock Market (NSSMC) used a press conference marking 20 years of non-state pension provision to outline a policy direction focused on making pension saving tools simple, digital and secure, with pension instruments designed to be accessible through smartphone-based public services. The NSSMC chair framed the push in the context of constraints on pension fund investment over the past decade, citing the loss of investment instruments, a shrinking economy and limited strategy choice for pension savings. He indicated the NSSMC is developing ideas to make pension instruments as easy to use as purchasing government bonds via Diia, and to enable citizens to invest in profitable state-owned companies and receive dividends through a streamlined digital process. The discussion also covered linking privatisation with pension payments and using selected state-owned companies as potential investable opportunities for citizens to support pension saving outcomes.
