2022 OECD/IOPS Global Forum on Private Pensions

 

 2-4 November 2022  Bratislava, Slovakia

"Current Challenges Faced by Private Pensions"

 

The 2022 Global Forum on Private Pensions was jointly organised by the OECD, the International Organisation of Pension Supervisors (IOPS) and the ANational Bank of Slovakia (NBS). It gathers high-level officials from regulatory and supervisory authorities, leading experts from pension fund industry and research institutes from both OECD and IOPS Member countries and representatives from international organisations. Discussions focussed on:

  • Impact of inflation on pension portfolios and ways to protect against inflation

  • Matters relevant to pension funds: performance, financial education and consumer protection

  • Would pension market consolidation lead to better outcomes for members?

  • ESG integration in investment: approaches that pension funds, regulators, and supervisors can take

  • Digitalisation in pensions 

This event was held back-to-back with the IOPS Committee Meetings and the IOPS Annual General Meeting on 2-3 November 2022.

 

Participation to the Global Forum on Private Pensions is by invitation only.
