Conclusions and Relevance Compulsory pension insurance undergoes continuous reforms, with the primary goal of ensuring decent pensions for people being still not attained.

Insurance companies have an extensive experience in life insurance, competitive pension insurance plans for individuals and companies. However, pension insurance accounts for less than one percent of insurance premiums. Operating without the State aid, insurers will not be able to tap their investment potential. They should be engaged in the expansion of pension insurance proposition as part of non-governmental pension mechanisms. Insurers should be allowed to accumulate savings through cumulative pension plans and join compulsory pension insurance plans using their investment capabilities.
