ArmInfo. As soon as the draft law on the mandatory funded pension system is submitted to the Armenian parliament, we will discuss it, and present our final decision. Ara Babloyan, Chairman of the National Assembly of Armenia, stated this on June 13, when commenting on the amendments to the Law on the Accumulative Pension System adopted by the government on June 11.
"I, as chairman of the Parliament, do not want to express my opinion on this issue, so as not to influence the course of the upcoming discussions," Babloyan said.
When asked whether it is possible that the RPA will vote "for" the application of this bill, Babloyan answered evasively. "We'll see, we'll see," he declared. Recall that from July 1 in Armenia comes into force mandatory funded pension system, which will affect 280 thousand citizens of the republic. According to the new order, citizens will transfer 2.5% of their salary to the special fund account, and the state 7.5%. Previously, the ratio was 5% to 5%.
