State billions under the aegis of the National Demographic Fund

The article discusses the proposed establishment of the National Demographic Fund in Slovenia, which aims to consolidate financial assets from several state entities including the State Holding Company, Capital Agency, DSU, Pension and Disability Insurance Institute, and Health Insurance Institute. The law, set to take effect at the start of next year, would centralize these funds under a single entity managed professionally. Financial Minister Andrej Šircelj emphasized that this move would allow current and future retirees to benefit from the returns generated by the pooled capital. He noted that the number of retirees is expected to increase by around 100,000 by 2050, leading to increased pension costs unless new funding sources are found. Dividend distributions from the fund would be allocated to the pension fund, care for the elderly, and family policies, with specific percentages designated for each purpose. However, the exact investments and allocation strategies remain unclear, and the management of the fund will be handled independently by a supervisory board without direct control from the government or ministry.

The mega demographic fund is expected to be more effective, but there are no concrete figures yet.

The Slovenian Ministry of Finance has proposed a law establishing a national demographic fund, aiming to consolidate state wealth into a single entity for more efficient management. The proposal, which was under consideration until yesterday, would merge existing state investments managed by the Slovenian State Holding (SDH) and other entities like Capital Company (KAD) and the State Fund for Social Security (Zpiz). The goal is to create a long-term sustainable system for managing state assets, with benefits directed toward current and future generations. While the ministry claims the new fund would improve efficiency and transparency, specific figures regarding investment strategies and returns were not provided during a recent press conference.
