In the State Duma commented on the idea of ​​the abolition of the Pension Fund

Earlier on Thursday the ombudsman for business RF Boris Titov suggested that the FIU be abolished and that its functions be transferred to the Treasury. He believes that modern technologies can do without heavy organizations and "not always transparent" like the FIU. The business ombudsman even seems to be already an "additional organization that derives inefficiently from money" and can therefore be completely abandoned.

Titov just said it by throwing the idea in the air, but for it implementation, in order to start working, it is necessary to carefully calculate everything – the risks and all possible drawbacks must be seen.

"After all, behind this system are people: retirees and those who work. Therefore, just for some emotions to act are very wrong, "says the MP
. In any case, by taking such drastic steps in the state machine, one must always be aware of what it will be like. indeed, she continued.

And it is necessary to understand if we can really save something something if it will be really more efficient from the point of view of decision-making.
