Following inter-ministerial coordination, the government announced on Tuesday the publication of a draft bill establishing the National Demographic Fund (NDF). This legislation mandates a significant restructuring of state assets, proposing the transfer of nearly all existing state investments into the newly created NDF. The fund itself will be formed through the transformation of the Slovenian State Holding (SDH) and the consolidation of Capital Company and DSU.
The proposed financial mechanism stipulates that a portion of the annual income generated from the management of these assets will be allocated directly to the national pension fund. The remaining funds will be reinvested to enhance the overall asset base of the NDF. Finance Minister Andrej Šircl explained that the primary objective about the National Demographic Fund is to enhance the stability and security of the pension system.
By centralizing and professionally managing state investments, the government aims to create sustainable benefits for both the current working population and future generations. The release of this draft bill initiates a two-week public consultation period, allowing stakeholders to review the proposed changes to state financial management. The measure signals a strategic effort to stabilize long-term fiscal obligations by creating a dedicated, robust funding source derived from state assets.
