Large response to the draft law on the demographic fundThe Ministry of Finance in Slovenia has received over 40 responses to the draft law on the National Demographic Fund, which aims to provide long-term funding for pensions and improve social security for current and future generations. The feedback includes input from various institutions such as the State Attorney's Office, anti-corruption commission, pension insurance agency, health insurance agency, and several unions and organizations.

Public consultation on the draft law on the National Demographic Fund is closedThe article discusses the conclusion of the public consultation on the draft law regarding the National Demographic Fund in Slovenia.

The Ministry of Finance argues that centralized management would improve efficiency, while critics warn against excessive centralization and political influence. Similar debates occurred five years ago when the bill was rejected. The proposal suggests that the fund would be under state ownership, with the ministry proposing experts for the supervisory council.
