The government is preparing changes in PPK? We have a comment of the Ministry of Finance
The Ministry of Finance in a commentary for “Wprost” confirms that he is working on changes in PPK. One of them assumes a more frequent employee record.
On Monday, Business Insider Polska announced that the government is planning to change the program of Employee Capital Plans (PPK) since 2019. One of them assumes a more frequent employee record.
Let us remind you that currently employees are enrolled in the program automatically every four years, as a result of which people who are not interested in participating in PPK must remember to re -resign at the right time (for the last time it happened in 2023). The government wants the autonapis to take place every two years.
Another change concerns the expansion of the PPK fund investment catalog, e.g. infrastructure funds, private equity and reit. The purpose of planned changes is to increase participation and develop the capital market.
