„Nimeni nu se atinge de Pilonul II de pensii”. Ce se află în spatele asigurărilor date de premier

Prime Minister Luca Niculescu reassured that the second pillar of private pensions will remain unchanged, addressing previous concerns about potential nationalization and fund management. He emphasized the importance of predictability for millions of Romanians relying on these savings, which amounted to over 237 billion lei by mid-2026. Analysts stress that political assurances must be backed by legislative guarantees to ensure long-term stability and protect participants' assets. The second pillar operates independently from the public pension system, accumulating funds for retirement through private management. Past discussions about possible nationalization have fueled public anxiety, highlighting the need for clear regulations to maintain trust in the system.
