In the first half of the year, 124 billion yuan of capital allocation work has been completed, which has strongly supported pension issuance in difficult provinces.

The third is the cumulative ending. At present, the basic endowment insurance fund of enterprise employees has accumulated a total of 5.1 trillion yuan, which has strong guarantee capabilities.

Fourth, financial subsidies. The central government's subsidy for the basic endowment insurance fund of enterprise employees has continued to increase, reaching about 650 billion yuan this year, and focuses on inclined to the western region and old industrial bases. After the implementation of the nation's overall planning, a local financial investment mechanism was also established.

Fifth, there are long -term reserves. The National Social Security Fund has more than 2.6 trillion yuan in strategic reserves, and the central level has transferred 1.68 trillion yuan in state -owned capital to enrich the social security fund.

Tao Tao said that in the next step, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs will also take a series of measures to promote the continuous reform and improvement of the pension insurance system, promote the system fair and sustainable, and ensure that pensions are issued in full on time.
