Employers pay these contributions from their own funds. In 2028, the rate will increase to 5%. According to the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund, there are no plans yet to raise the contribution rate deducted from employees' salaries, which currently stands at 10%.

An interdepartmental working group under the Ministry of Labor is discussing ways to increase the regularity of contributions and ensure sufficient income after retirement. No decisions on these proposals have been made yet.
