On August 31, the Unemployment Insurance Fund board made a proposal. They want the unemployment insurance contribution to remain at 2.4 percent until 2027. Starting from 2028, it should decrease to 2.1 percent. The employee contribution rate would drop from 1.6 percent to 1.4 percent. The employer contribution rate would decrease from 0.8 percent to 0.7 percent.
The board supported the proposal. The board includes employers, employees, and the state. There are two representatives from the employers' union, two employee representatives, and two government representatives on the board.
The head of the employers' union said the government's decision is unjustified. He stated that the Unemployment Insurance Fund made a good proposal and the board supported it. The Unemployment Insurance Fund has sufficient funds. The state should reduce the tax burden. The Unemployment Insurance Fund has been successful in reducing costs.
