The government has not yet transferred money from the OFE to the Poles.  What are the results achieved by the funds by investing part of the pension premium? [22.05.2022]

Despite the announcements and other bills addressed to the House of Representatives, the government did not, in the end, decide to liquidate the open pension funds and transfer the billions accumulated in them for future pensions, either to the Social Insurance Institution or to the special accounts of future pensioners.

The first edition of the “PTE Chiefs Team” study is devoted to predictions regarding investment outcomes in OFE in 2022.

According to eight out of nine PTE chiefs surveyed (88.9%), the outcome of an OFE investment in 2022 is likely to be weaker than that of 2021. This view was not shared by a respondent who found it difficult to predict the rates of return of open pension funds in 2022. .

Respondents were also asked to point out three main factors that may negatively affect the results of investing in open pension funds in the current year. The most frequent threats were the escalation of the war in Ukraine (88.9%), followed by:
