Resolution on determining the organizations that will deliver pensions on a competitive basis, +2.9 points

Ukrposhta now delivers pensions. However, the Pension Fund Board must determine the provider of pensions on a competitive basis till September 1, 2021.

Experts assessed the positive impact of this decision on competition.

Law about the establishment of the Bureau of Economic Security, +2.0 points

Today, State Tax Service of Ukraine (tax police), Security Service and National Police are responsible for the economic crimes investigation. Some functions in these organs are duplicated, and approaches to work remain far from analytical. Such number of law enforcement agencies creates overpressure on business and the field for abuse. 

Law 1150-IX from 01.28.2021 introduces a single body that will be responsible for the economic crimes investigation – the Economic Security Bureau, defines its powers and tasks. When the Economic Security Bureau starts working, the tasks of the SSU and the National Police of economic crimes investigations will be transferred to it, and the tax police will be liquidated.
