The Second Legislature of the Congress of the Republic came to an end and various bills were shelved. Some of them are those related to the seventh withdrawal of the Pension Fund Administrators (AFP), which were not prioritized by the Economy Commission to become an opinion and achieve their subsequent approval in plenary. In this note we tell you in what state are the legislative initiatives that propose to release the money of the affiliates and other details.
▷ In what state are the projects that propose the AFP 2023 withdrawal?
There are 10 bills that propose a new withdrawal of funds from the AFPs, of which seven refer to the release of 5 UIT, 4 UIT, 3 UIT, 50% and 70%, with the objective that citizens can face the increase in the prices of the basic family basket.
In the case of the other three proposals, its purpose is to increase the withdrawal amount to purchase a home or pay debts through the mortgage guarantee. Of all of them, only the PL of the congressman Ilich López of Acción Popular seeks the release of 100% to acquire a house.

However, to date, it was not possible to evaluate the proposals in the Economy Commission to facilitate their debate and approval in plenary. In any case, this parliamentary group would have to coordinate with the Work Commission to incorporate modifications to the proposal and develop a consensus formula.

▷ AFP Withdrawal 2023: can the bills still be approved?
The legislature for the 2022-2023 period ended on June 23 and the ordinary commissions can no longer dictate bills until August, the date on which the new Board of Directors of Congress must be elected and the parliamentary working groups must be formed. .
It is worth mentioning that the Economic Commission, chaired by Congresswoman Rosangella Barbarán, from Fuerza Popular, did not advance with the elaboration of an opinion on this issue. In one of her statements, the legislator said that there are 50 bills related to pensions and “the priority” was the reform of the pension system.
“I have a position on this (retirement) that the main thing is to help the population that does not recover their job. There are other congressmen whose purpose is to appear on camera. (…) The total withdrawal is a populist measure that seems dangerous to me for an economy that is trying to recover, ”he added on the Andina Canal Online program “Económika”.
▷ Is it possible to withdraw AFP this year?
No, because no proposal in Congress has prospered and so far no new withdrawal from the AFPs has been scheduled for 2023.
