-Speech by Tian Chengping, Minister of Labor and Social Security, at the "China Forum on Science and Humanities" (1kloc-0/6 2006 10)
The endowment insurance fund for enterprise employees is the "life-saving money" for each payer. By the end of 2005, the scale of various social security funds in China has exceeded10.8 trillion yuan, of which local social security occupies the main position. However, due to the lack of systematic laws and regulations to regulate local social security, there is no supervision and subordinate relationship between national social security and local social security, and some local social security funds have broken through the investment scope stipulated by the state and set foot in high-yield investment fields, which will inevitably bring high risks and often lead to great losses. Following the exposure of Guangzhou's misappropriation of more than 800 million yuan social security fund in 2002, the Shanghai Labor and Social Security Bureau, which was established eight years ago, began to fall into the biggest social security fraud case in China's history at the end of July 2006. The Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC Central Committee investigated the social security cases in Shanghai caused by illegal land use, involving more and more institutions. Zhu Junyi, director of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Labor and Social Security, and other officials have been dismissed by the Commission for Discipline Inspection and accepted double regulations. Caijing magazine published on August 2 1 pointed out that although the judicial process has not yet started, it is difficult for the outside world to understand, but the insider of the illegal or even illegal operation of Shanghai Social Security Bureau for many years has been uncovered. For a long time, Shanghai government departments have been the chief executives of social security funds and investment and operation institutions. Even today, the voice of legal supervision and market-oriented operation of social security funds is getting louder and louder, and there is no substantial change. The reality of this super monopoly not only constitutes the case significance of Shanghai social security to the national social security, but also is the source of today's chaos to a great extent. Social security in Shanghai will continue to attract people's attention in the future.
In recent years, illegal use of social security funds has caused huge losses frequently. In addition to the embezzlement case of Guangzhou social security fund and the fraud case of Shanghai social security, online search shows that in September 2002, Longquan Run, the former general manager of Hainan Daryun Industrial Co., Ltd., was sentenced to death for defrauding the rural social endowment insurance fund of 20 million yuan; In March 2004, the Intermediate People's Court of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province pronounced a huge social security fund fraud case. Many defendants embezzled 76.59 million yuan from the social security fund, and the amount involved in financial fraud was nearly 654.38+0.8 billion yuan. In May 2006, Qin, the former fund manager of the Social Security Center of Hebei Electric Power Company, misappropriated 3810.7 million yuan of social security funds for stock trading, and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of10.5 years by Langfang Intermediate People's Court for embezzlement of public funds. According to incomplete statistics, since 1998, more than16 billion yuan of misappropriated funds have been cleared and recovered nationwide. By the end of 2005, 10 billion yuan has not been recovered (excluding a large number of illegal funds seen in the Shanghai social security fraud case). Although the judicial procedure of Shanghai social security fraud case has not yet started, the inside story is just the tip of the iceberg, but it is the biggest social security fraud case in history. A series of social security fraud cases occurred not only in underdeveloped areas in the mainland, but also in a metropolis with high management level and abundant social security funds, which reflected the hidden concerns of local social security.
At present, there are still practical difficulties in China's pension, such as too fine division, too narrow coverage, too large overall deficit, too small personal account, and "idling". The shortage of funds has increased the pressure of "maintaining and increasing the value" of accumulated funds, which has become an excuse for fund managers to operate at high risks, and the loss of high-risk operations has led to a double shortage of funds. Therefore, in order to ensure the safe operation and effective use of social security funds, in addition to strengthening professional supervision and discipline inspection, it is also necessary to improve the system, seek a radical solution to reduce the risk of transition, and find the optimal value of the security and income balance of social security funds. In this regard, an article published in Caijing magazine on August 2, 20061holds that the restructured old-age insurance system in China will be related to the fundamental interests of hundreds of millions of people, and its basic framework should be as follows: at the level of basic old-age insurance, the book-entry personal account (NDC) should be implemented to ensure the government's credit guarantee, the public departments should operate, and the national overall planning system should be established; At the level of supplementary pension, fund accumulation of personal accounts, introduction of competition mechanism, and operation of commercial departments will form a market operation supervision and balance situation. It is reported that in the implementation of book-entry personal accounts, since 200 1, the central government has piloted "small and real" personal accounts in Liaoning to ensure that they are real. That is, reduce the proportion of payment wages in personal accounts, manage the payment funds in personal accounts as a whole, and ensure the real accumulation of personal accounts. According to the "Decision on Improving the Basic Old-age Insurance System for Enterprise Employees" issued by the State Council in June 5438+February 2005, the pilot project of "Doing Small and Doing Real" personal accounts was extended to eight provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities such as Shanghai and Tianjin. In terms of supplementary pension, the exploration of enterprise annuity operated by personal trust mode has also started. In this context, the investigation of Shanghai social security fraud case will become a typical case of the new round of urban endowment insurance system reform.
