Why OECD Work on Private Pensions Policy Matters

Global economic dynamics emphasize the necessity for steadfast retirement saving systems. Shifts in national pension fund policies can profoundly influence capital markets due to their long-term focus. The OECD’s work on private pensions helps countries develop effective pension systems, ensuring retirement security for individuals and reducing the financial burden on businesses to provide extensive retirement benefits. Coordinating regulations for private pensions accentuates the importance of the OECD’s guidance, especially in navigating challenges faced by policymakers for the insurance and pension industry.

We foster balanced regulatory perspectives that serve all stakeholders, ensuring OECD policy guidance on both defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) plans resonates with the interests of employers and beneficiaries.
