BT Pensii has reached 300,000 participants in its voluntary pension funds, accumulating over 1 billion lei in assets. In 2026, the company saw an increase of 86,000 new participants, a 40% rise compared to last year. Monthly contributions rose by 76%, averaging 135 lei. A study indicates a shift in how Romanians view retirement, now seen as an active life stage rather than withdrawal from work. There are gaps between financial preparedness and aspirations for an active retirement lifestyle. With 4.57 million pensioners in Romania, the average public pension is below 3,000 lei, highlighting the importance of additional savings through Pillar 3 for financial security in retirement.
