The Ministry of Finance does not plan to suspend the Personal Investment Accounts (OKI) program, said Andrzej Domański, Minister of Finance and Economy.
“We will not stop the OKI program. It is a necessary program because the cash and deposit structure in the savings structure is too large. Poles have too few shares in their portfoliosand if we look at the statistics, since 2000, shares have given higher rates of return than deposits or even State Treasury bonds,” Domański said at a meeting with journalists.
In December, the draft act on personal investment accounts (OKI), i.e. voluntary investment accounts for natural persons, was submitted for consultation.
OKI cheaper than the government's original proposal. The state will lose “only” PLN 1 billion instead of PLN 4.3 billion
The introduction of Personal Investment Accounts (OKI) is another attempt by the government to cope with one of its flagship election promises, which was the abolition of the Belka tax for savings and investments up to PLN 100,000. zloty. It turns out that the idea currently being considered is much more beneficial for the budget than the original proposal, which most people have already forgotten about.
The industry, supporting the plan to introduce OKI, submitted proposals for amendments to the project. One of the demands expressed by the Chamber of Brokerage Houses is to change the implementation schedule for this project.
In the project, the launch of OKI is planned for July 1, 2026, and in IDM's opinion, the deadline overlaps with the market “freezing of changes” in internal systems related to the implementation of WATS (new trading system on the WSE), which requires the concentration of IT resources and tests on the part of investment companies.
