At the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) main stand, marking International Women’s Day under the theme “No Economy Wins Running at Half Capacity: The Economic Power of Gender Equality,” Energy, Mining and Minerals Resources Ministry head Sanja Bogianovska highlighted a critical issue. The event, held on March 12, 2026, at 17:11, addressed the persistent reliance on old women within the energy sector. Bogianovska emphasized that this dependence restricts the full potential of half the population.
If opportunities for secure retirement are limited for women, the overall economic growth is significantly hampered. The hybrid event, attended by EBRD President Oдил Рено-Басо, underscored the direct impact of gender gaps on productivity and economic performance. The discussion focused on the need to dismantle barriers preventing women from accessing long-term security within the energy industry.
The goal is to ensure equitable access to retirement benefits, recognizing the substantial contributions of old women to the sector and ultimately, to a more robust and inclusive economy. The presentation highlighted the importance of addressing these imbalances to unlock the full economic power of gender equality.
