Când vor încasa românii banii din Pilonul 2 în baza noii legii de plată? Perspectiva noului președinte al APAPR despre viitorul sistemului de pensii private

Cristian Pascu, the new president of APAPR, highlights the declining replacement rate of pensions in Romania and advocates for increased contributions to private pension pillars. He emphasizes the need for fiscal incentives to enhance voluntary and occupational pension schemes. The number of participants in the mandatory private pension system has reached 8.5 million, with contributions exceeding 2 billion lei in February 2026. The contribution rate for Pillar 2 has increased to 4.75%, but remains below the initial target. New legislation will allow for flexible pension withdrawals starting in 2027, aiming to improve retirement income.
