The Commission for Financial Supervision issued Ordinance No. 12 to establish the legal framework for determining minimum yields and managing reserves for additional voluntary pension funds in Bulgaria. The regulation mandates that pension insurance companies form and maintain specific reserves to guarantee minimum yields, detailing the calculation methods for weighted average yields and the procedures for covering shortfalls. It further outlines the administrative and financial mechanisms for releasing or supplementing these reserves based on asset thresholds and imposes administrative penalties for non-compliance.
