Shuvalov: professionals should engage in funded pensions in the Russian Federation

First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Igor Shuvalov said that is not necessary to submit the debate on the fate of the funded component of the pension system of the Russian Federation to public discussion, and this issue should be addressed professionally within the government.

According to Shuvalov, the Russian government is currently conducting a balanced and reasoned debate on this issue. "Those who defend the funded system have their arguments. Their arguments are extremely nuanced and you cannot blame them for offering something wrong or something that will harm the pension system. Their arguments are extremely accurate and they are extremely professional on this debate," the Minister said.
