The average account of a contributor to Pillar II pension funds was RON 12,967 (EUR 2,620) – 12.4% more than a year ago in March 2022, according to the report of the Romanian financial authority ASF quoted by Ziarul Financiar.
The average monthly contribution was RON 249 (EUR 50), 14.57% more than a year earlier, according to the report.
