Vice PM: Government not planning to raise retirement age

"The Government develops its concept and elaborates the draft pension reform, but you will definitely not see an increase in the retirement age in this reform. The retirement age will not be raised in Ukraine in the coming years," Rozenko said. As reported, Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman announced the pension reform in Ukraine as one of the Government's priorities in 2017. Adoption of the Cabinet’s proposals will allow increasing pensions by UAH 200-1,000 for at least 5.6 million pensioners as early as October 1. In addition, the taxation of pensions for working pensioners will be abolished.
