Finance Minister Ivan Šuker issued a shocking warning at a meeting with leaders of the ruling coalition: due to a lack of contributions and unexpectedly weak budget revenues, the pension system is threatened with collapse, and that as early as the end of summer, reports the portal globus.jutarnji.hr.
Already in September, we face the danger that the state budget will not have enough money to pay all pensions. This is the reality, and without new savings in the budget, this will happen – a worried government official recounted a few days ago. A similar warning, only without specifying a deadline for when this could happen, was also issued on Monday by Finance Minister Ivan Šuker at a meeting of the ruling coalition leaders. Minister Šuker explained, as we have learned, that revenues from contributions are decreasing and that regular pension payments increasingly depend on the budget. (www.globus.jutarnji.hr)
