In the text of the Memorandum between Ukraine and the IMF there are no obligations to raise the retirement age for Ukrainians. This was broadcast by one of the TV channels, Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Pavel Rozenko.

"Memorandum with the IMF for the first time in 15 years of history was published on the website of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine. And everyone can be sure that there are no sensations there, in these three weeks there have been no cataclysms in Ukraine. There is not a single mention of raising the retirement age in Ukraine, "he said.. - And, at the same time, we constantly hear talk about the need to increase the retirement age. It is necessary to understand that the more such groundless conversations, the less chance to hold any pension reform in the parliament ".

Pavel Rozenko once stressed that with today's low life expectancy of Ukrainians to raise the retirement age is unacceptable. "I am a categorical opponent of raising the retirement age now, at this stage of Ukraine's development. I believe that with a low life expectancy this is unacceptable, "he said..

The main marker of the IMF regarding pension reform, according to Pavel Rozenko, is this requirement - the new pension system should be earned in Ukraine from January 1, 2018.

"And our main task is to make a fair pension system - first of all for Ukrainians.

The reform will be carried out not for the IMF, but for current pensioners, who are expecting an increase in pensions, and for future generations, who need to be given a chance to receive a decent pension in the future, "the Vice Prime Minister stressed..

Pavel Rozenko also noted that a noticeable increase in the amount of pensions will occur after the introduction of a three-tier pension system in Ukraine, when, at last, three levels will begin to work simultaneously: the current solidarity, cumulative and non-state pension insurance system. "Then every person will have the opportunity to form his pension future," he added..
