– Only 51 percent of the funds accumulated in PPK come from participant contributions. The rest are subsidies from employers (nearly PLN 10 billion) and the state (PLN 2.5 billion). In addition, these profits include investment results achieved by financial institutions for program participants – said Bartosz Marczok, Vice President of PFR, in an interview with “Rzeczpospolita”.
PFR forecasts indicate this Accumulated assets in PPK and personal protective equipment should exceed PLN 100-120 billion this decade. By the end of the decade, 6 to 7 million employees are expected to be involved in PPK and PPE.

Employee equity plans are a program in which the employer and state contribute to the employee's private savings. From the state, a PPK participant may receive a welcome payment (PLN 250 to start) and annual subsidies (PLN 240 for a given calendar year). These amounts are fixed and are the same for all PPK participants who have earned the right to them.
