Ukraine registers bills to reform non-state pension funds
What happened
Two bills concerning pension reform were registered in the Verkhovna Rada on September 24, 2026. The main bill, No. 15570, proposes transitioning from the current model of non-state pension funds (NPFs) to voluntary pension funds that would be established exclusively by pension companies. Existing NPFs would be given 10 years to decide whether to terminate.

Why it matters
The proposed reform mandates a transition from the current corporate pension model to a voluntary system. This structural shift requires oversight from the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and introduces new regulatory scope for bodies like the National Securities and Stock Market Commission.
