Stakeholder forum on retirement savings

In line with the Commission's Communication on the savings and investments union, key measures have been announced to further develop the supplementary pension sector and remove potential barriers to equity investments by pension funds where they exist. The Commission has committed to reviewing the existing EU frameworks for Institutions for occupational retirement provision (IORPs) and the Pan-European Personal Pension Product (PEPP) by the fourth quarter of 2025. This review aims to increase participation in supplementary pensions, ensuring adequate income in retirement, and enhancing the capacity of pension funds to channel household savings into productive and innovative investments.

On 16 June, the Commission will host an event dedicated to exploring emerging trends in retirement provisioning across the European Union. This forum will highlight best practices from Member States and pave the way for sharing successful strategies across the Union. The event will showcase success stories on second and third pillar pensions and explore how best practices can be used as guideposts for further reforms. Discussions will encompass all stakeholders active in providing retirement products.

Join us to gather insights from industry experts, civil society, and the asset management industry, as we focus on current pension legislation, including PEPP, IORP, and Solvency II, and work towards building a more robust, inclusive, and dynamic pension framework within the EU.
