17 AMANDMENTS TO THE CAPITALIZED SCHEME OPTIONS: Increase of the second pillar contribution rate (possibility is envisaged in the Strategic Development Framework , Croatian Government) Increase of benefit realized from the first pillar within the two pillar regime Open the possibility for the second pillar members who voluntary opted for the II. pillar (generation 40 50) to opt for the first pillar insurance only, during the proscribed period of time Open the same possibility for generation 40 50, but at the moment of their retirement
18 SHORT AND LONG TERM GOALS To achieve and maintain the balance between the level of benefits realized in one- pillar and two-pillar pension regimes by increasing the benefits of the second pillar members Since the ongoing crisis has worsened fiscal capacity of the State budget to intervene in the pension system, proposed solution should be fiscally sustainable in the medium and long term period
