All employed individuals in the formal sector are required to contribute to the statutory pension scheme. Individuals not covered by the scheme can contribute voluntarily. The insurance industry’s growth was recently affected by bottlenecks such as its legal framework, fiscal regime, and investment climate, which are expected to be addressed soon by the Pensions and Insurance Authority.
