The most important element of the Polish pension reform was the creation of the pension market

The Open Pension Funds market is made up 1 Each Open Pension Fund is managed by only one specialized and authorized company companies are required to have a minimum capital and to maintain a reserve to meet any shortfalls custody agreement with an appropriate institution for the safekeeping of the pension fund assets. Although participation in the open pension fund not permitted to refuse a contract. An employee can Each worker must be treated equally. Contributions are collected centrally and are channelled through the Social Insurance Institution to the open pension funds chosen by customers. Then the money is converted into accounting units. Each accounting unit represents a proportionate share in each asset of the fund. It is valued daily and the results are published in newspapers and on the Internet. The balance on the worker s individual account is calculated as the number of accounting units multiplied by their respective values. The Open Pension Funds collect attained a retirement age. The duration of the open pension funds is unlimited. The investment policy of the Open Pension Funds is regulated by law and determined by the managing company. The open pension funds combine component). This resembles the investment policy of 2012). According to the Law on the Organization and must ensure the maximum security of the assets and at the same time maximize the overall return on must generate at least a minimum rate of return over a certain period. In Poland this rate is calculated on a The Open Pension Funds and managing companies are supervised by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority. The second segment of the Polish pension market (and the third pillar of the pension system) is the Voluntary Pension Schemes market. This market consists of three forms of long-term savings for individual retirement accounts and newly introduced individual retirement security accounts. Participation in this market offers an opportunity of gaining Schemes allow reallocation of customers incomes across the life-cycle according to their preferences and needs. It is a free choice concerning the timing and the amount of savings. The Occupational Pension Programs are group pension schemes. They are offered by employers to their employees. The Occupational Pension Programs have various forms that are regulated by special law. They can be self-administered by the employer or The Individual Retirement Accounts and the Individual Retirement Security Accounts are personal pension schemes. They are created by customers at The only difference between these accounts is tax treatment. Accounts and the Individual Retirement Security Accounts are supervised by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority. The major consequence of the creation of the Polish pension market is accumulation of substantial long term capital in the national economy. Lack year of functioning of the market the accumulated years this sum increased more than hundredfold to market became an important element and a stimulus 1 It s worth noting that at the beginning of 1999 the number of open pension funds was 21. During the following years the concentration process at the market led to the reduction of the funds number by one third.
