Makos Keraunos: The €11.4 billion of the Social Insurance Fund will not be invested in stock markets – The state pays 4.5% interest for borrowing.

The government will not allow the Social Insurance Fund's (SIF) reserve to be invested in the Stock Exchange. The Minister of Finance stated that the SIF's total reserve in 2025 was approximately €11.4 billion, mainly from government contributions and interest payments. The government has been borrowing from the SIF as a standard practice since its establishment, with the fund's assets primarily held as deposits with the central government. The government is initiating a modernization of the SIF's pension system to allow for productive investments independent of the government.
