The value of assets earmarked for retirement declined in most OECD countries in 2022 driven by negative nominal investment rates of return

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 provoked a global health crisis, soon followed by an economic and financial crisis. Retirement savings and old-age pension systems were one of the many components of our societies impacted by these events, which are unprecedented in recent history. The economic effects of the crisis have been accumulating for the past years as governments introduced successive health measures to try and curb the spread of the virus. The slowdown of economic activity across the globe resulted in soaring unemployment and falling stock prices in the first quarter of 2020 as financial markets reacted.

Pension Markets in Focus provides detailed and comparable statistics on retirement savings around the world. This annual statistical report contributes to the effort of making data on retirement savings available, as the OECD Core Principles of Private Pension Regulation advocates for, to enable regulators and stakeholders to evaluate the design and operation of pension systems relative to their goals. These statistics can support policy discussions through international comparisons and peer learning, and are the basis of policy recommendations in the OECD series of Pension Reviews. These statistics can also be helpful to private sector representatives, journalists, academics and anyone interested in funded pension systems.

En su búsqueda de la sostenibilidad de sus sistemas públicos de pensiones, tanto las reformas paramétricas graduales (cambios en la edad de jubilación, los tipos de cotización o los criterios de revalorización) como las reformas estructurales (cuentas nocionales o autoenrolment al sistema de pensiones de empleo) han sido utilizadas por los países avanzados para responder a los aumentos sistemáticos de la esperanza de vida y los correspondientes aumentos de las tasas de dependencia de las personas de edad. Estos ajustes se han dado en escenarios de bajo crecimiento de la productividad, cambios acelerados en los mercados de trabajo, cambios en los tipos de interés y cambios regulatorios

In the search for the sustainability of public pension systems, both, gradual parametric reforms (changes in retirement age, contribution rates or revaluation adjustments) and systemic reforms (NDC schemes) have been the main strategies as high-income countries have responded to continuous longevity increases, below replacement level fertility, and the corresponding upward trend in old-age dependency ratios. All this has also happened in low productivity gains and economic growth, rapidly shifting labor markets, changing interest rates and regulatory reforms scenarios.

To help countries to improve asset-backed pension systems and build people’s trust that their best interest is considered, the present edition of the OECD Pensions Outlook provides a series of recommendations on how to introduce, develop and strengthen asset-backed pension arrangements, the role that employers can play in the development of these arrangements, how fees can be charged to protect retirement assets and align them with the cost of the services provided, how to ensure the appropriateness of mortality assumptions, and the design and introduction of non-guaranteed lifetime retirement income arrangements.
