The judges of the Supreme Court have decided to refer to the Constitutional Court regarding the Law on the payment of private pensions, which introduces significant changes for Pillar 2 and Pillar 3. This decision was made during a meeting convened for October 16, 2025, in which the judges gathered to discuss the constitutionality of the law before its promulgation.

The law, recently adopted by Parliament, regulates how Romanians can withdraw funds from private pensions, limiting the initial withdrawal to 30% of the accumulated amount, with the remainder paid out in installments over a minimum period of 8 years. Exceptions will be made for oncology patients and those with funds below a certain threshold. This change has generated controversy and criticism among public opinion, considering that, currently, Romanians can withdraw all their money from private pensions.
