Abstract

The last two decades the Macedonian government was challenged to deliver a set of new Laws and By-laws and to settle a completely new national pension system based on three pillars (public fund, private mandatory pension funds and voluntary pension funds). The implementation of pension reforms from one pillar system (Pay-As-You-Go) to three-pillar system comprise in order to establish long-term social and financial stability in the country. This caused establishing new financial institutions and developing new financial instruments in the Macedonian financial system. In spite the fact that last year the Macedonian stock exchange has rapidly increase the index value, the pension funds were not fully opened to trade at the Macedonian stock exchange. The investment policy of the pension funds is strictly coordinate by provisions in the Law on Mandatory Fully Funded pension Insurances and Law on voluntary fully funded pension insurance, Securities Law etc. Having in mind the asset of these types of investment intermediaries they could be one of the crucial traders at the national capital market.

Also, mixed method will be used to deliver results that will be of relevance to all involved stakeholders.
