That would be a hypothetical answer. In addition, I can confirm that in 2009, there was no increase as compared to 2008. It was $1.73 per $100 of insurable earnings. It was maintained at $1.73 in 2009-2010. Afterwards, it increased to $1.78 in 2011, to $1.83 in 2012 and to $1.88 in 2013-2014, which is in compliance with the current policy of ensuring that the fund stays balanced.
In fact, during the recession, the decision was made to keep the level of contributions lower than what would have been necessary to balance the fund, because of the difficult economic situation. So at that time, we did not bring in any increases. Since the recovery has begun, the rates were increased slowly in order to bring the fund back into balance.
The government's current decision is to maintain a freeze on the levels in order to avoid the increase which had been planned in the 2013 budget.
