Bulgaria amends its Social Security Code to introduce the pan- European Personal Pension Product

Funds from other EU countries will be able to enter the Bulgarian market, collect social security contributions and pay pensions. This is stipulated by amendments to the Social Security Code, proposed for public consultation.

The pan- European Personal Pension Product (PEPP) was approved by the EU 2 years ago. PEPP is a voluntary personal pension scheme that offers EU citizens a new option to save for retirement. The voluntary PEPP pension scheme is complementary to state based and occupational pensions. It offers similar benefits to other personal pension products, while allowing mobile workers to carry their savings when seeking employment in another EU member state. 

PEPP savers will be able to participate in investment management by choosing riskier and more profitable options or lower risk options which provide lower return.
