Analysis

Summary

As agenda item six, the draft law amending the Mandatory Occupational Pension Act and other laws (bill No. 464) was discussed for its second reading. Member of the Finance Committee, Priit Lomp, presented an overview of the bill's processing in the lead committee. It emerged that no amendments were received by the deadline, but during the consultation process, the Banking Association submitted an opinion concerning non-transferable financial assets located in a pension investment account (PIK). Based on this, the Ministry of Finance submitted one amendment, the wording of which also suited the Banking Association. The bill focused on the conditions for leaving the second pension pillar, emphasizing that upon leaving, all investments must be realised independently, except in exceptional cases, such as when the financial asset issuer is bankrupt. The lead committee reviewed the submitted amendment, decided to fully take it into account, and made a unanimous proposal to conclude the second reading of the bill.
