Poland has no immediate plans for altering its pension system and sees talk of transferring all of pension fund assets into a single-state-run fund as premature, as discussion on changes to the system will start no sooner than in August, deputy Labor Minister Marcin Zieleniecki told PAP.
"It seems that the media have picked up the subject that, for now, is no subject at all," Zieleniecki said. "It's not even a loose idea."
"For now we are waking for the close of the transfer window; then we will be able to judge the current model." the official said. "To end-July we will make no moves and will return to the issue of any changes to the system in August."
Rzeczpospolita said last week that the government of Poland is planning to merge existing private pension funds OFE into one fund managed by a stated-owned company.
