Reform of the Social Insurance Fund for Investment Surpluses
May 15, 2026
The Social Insurance Fund will become a large investment fund, avoiding borrowing from the government. Annual surpluses of 800 million euros are expected along with the gradual repayment of the 12 billion euro debt. The Minister of Labor emphasized the importance of managing the fund according to European standards. It is projected that the fund's reserve may reach 50-60 billion euros in the future. Safeguarding these funds is critical for the sustainability of the Social Insurance Fund.
