Russia’s pension reform should be adopted within months

Medvedev said all these questions should be solved “after a broad public and professional discussion”

MOSCOW, April 24 (Itar-Tass) — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sets the task to take a decision on the development of the country’s pension system.

“In the near future it is necessary to define how our pension system should develop: what role a state pension will play – of social assistance or wage loss insurance, what financial instruments we need to propose citizens for the formation of long-term savings and how to motivate an employer,” he told a meeting of the State Council on Tuesday.

Medvedev said all these questions should be solved “after a broad public and professional discussion.”
