Hope from the Minister of Labor Regarding Pension Reform

The Minister of Labor has presented preliminary work on pension reform, with an emphasis on upgrading and making the pension supervisory authority independent. This proposal is considered particularly important, as Cyprus is one of the few countries in Europe without an independent pension supervisory authority. The independence of supervision will contribute to making rational decisions, addressing deficits in pension funds, and strengthening confidence in the pension system. However, it remains unknown how the independence of supervision will be ensured in practice, as no clear announcements have been made regarding the implementation of the proposal.
