Liwiusz Laska is set to become the new president of Poland's Social Insurance Institution (ZUS), following approval from the ZUS Supervisory Board.

This appointment comes after the dismissal of the previous president, Zbigniew Derdziuk, last Wednesday. The Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy stated that Derdziuk's removal was due to health reasons.

Laska brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously served as the chairman of the ZUS Supervisory Board. He also held the position of director general at the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy.

Derdziuk had been leading ZUS since April 30, 2024, succeeding Gertruda Uล›ciล„ska.
