Prishtinë, June 22, 2022 – At the time when the review of the proposed amendments to the Law on Pension Funds by the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo is expected to begin, the American Chamber of Commerce in Kosovo called on MPs to not approve this legal initiative.
Enabling the withdrawal of pension savings should not be a response to the current socio-economic challenges of the country, also due to the many uncertainties that characterize the global economic environment and the further deepening of difficulties in the following months.
AmCham emphasizes that despite their authority, deputies of the Assembly of the Republic have a responsibility to make policies that guarantee and continuously improve the well-being of their citizens, and therefore do not support initiatives that erode the prospect of a dignified life after retirement.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Kosovo reiterates its call for a comprehensive dialogue, primarily between political stakeholders and others, for a monetary and fiscal measures program that would address current challenges and facilitate the livelihood of citizens.
