How many votes does the Trust pass, and how many MPs should be present?

At the meeting held on April 21st in electronic form, she has given a negative view of the proposal she received from her deputy PDK, Bekim Haxhiu.

However, the pension Trust Bill, initiated by the latter, will be considered in the Assembly.

Hannah Haxhiu, the KDI NGO monitoring officer, has explained for “Front Online” the procedures under which the legal initiative will pass.

Now after a month has passed, as long as the Government had the time to give thought to the legal initiative for the change of the bill that would enable the withdrawal of a percentage of the trust, even without the government's opinion, the bill has automatically entered into the screening procedure. This means that that bill will be distributed to MPs and will be considered according to regular procedures that you see in order to examine any bill”.

She went on to suggest that the bill receives the green light requires 31 votes per, but that 61 MPs should participate in the vote.

“Initially, the functional Commission will handle it first and will submit it to the first reading session and if it gets enough votes then it will continue in the second review on the functional commission and on four permanent commissions and then proceed to the session for final adoption”.

The government has argued the decision not to pull back, saying it does not help categories in need.

So does economist Imer Rachi.

The withdrawal of savings from the Trust immediately increases inequality among citizens as formal and informal sectors and the public and private sector. Money drawn by the Trust is not benefiting those in need because they don't have saved money in the trust and the prospect of withdrawal is either little or zero. The impact of money on circulation is affecting economic growth but not local production, so we are consumers of imported”, he stressed.

The taxpayers, 10 percent of the amount obtained from the pension savings earned while working, had withdrawn it in 2020.

An estimated 200m euros of over 420 thousand taxpayers had been withdrawn from the Trust.

The attraction was made after the Law was adopted for economic recovery.

A report by the Institute for Advanced GAP Research noted that 40 percent of the vehicles were deposited in private accounts.

“A large number of taxpayers have not spent their means, but have saved”, says the GAP report.

In this withdrawal, according to the law, the Kosovo government will compensate within five years only taxpayers who had savings of up to 10,000 euros and who have made the withdrawal.
