The dubious portal with content in the Albanian language "multinewz.com" has published an article claiming that the Kosovo Government will enable citizens to withdraw an additional 20% from the Trust.
Hibrid.info has verified the facts in this article and has confirmed that the title of this article is fabricated and does not correspond to the content.
The text states that experts in economic issues in Kosovo have proposed that the Government of Kosovo allow citizens to also withdraw 20 percent from the Pension Fund.
So, the news is about the proposal of some economic experts and not about any decision by the Government of Kosovo regarding the possibility of withdrawing 20% from the Trust.
Excerpt from the article published on the dubious portal "multinewz.com":
LAST // Will the government allow citizens to withdraw another 20% from TRUST?!
Experts on economic issues in Kosovo propose that the Kosovo Government allow citizens to withdraw 20 percent from the Pension Fund. This, they say, would alleviate the current difficult financial situation, increase consumption, and stimulate economic activity in businesses.
SLOW DOWN!
With the Economic Recovery Law, issued in December 2020 by the Government of Avdullah Hoti, citizens were allowed to withdraw 10 percent of their savings from the Trust. In the four months that the application lasted, 427,371 people withdrew over 197 million euros. About 120 million euros of them will be reimbursed in the next 5 years, for people who withdrew less than 1 thousand euros (they had less than 10 thousand euros in savings).
