On 1 December 2021, PensionsEurope hosted its webinar Investing in the Future as part of the inaugural European Retirement Week (29 November – 3 December), an initiative by 11 European associations to provide a platform for a wide range of stakeholders to debate the future of pensions in Europe and to raise citizens’ awareness of the need to save for retirement. Pension adequacy is crucial to address Europe’s savings gap and one of the first steps to achieve this is to raise public awareness of the need for long-term savings and returns.
During the seminar, PensionsEurope built on its programme “Investing in the Future“, that was created earlier this year and launched at the PensionsEurope annual conference 2021, and stimulated the debate on pension oppoortunities and planning, alternative investments and the challenges and trends for 2021 and beyond. In a second session, we learnt more about Pension Tracking Services (PTS) and Dashboards, with EIOPA sharing how these could be developed and a case study on PTS from Sweden, followed by a panel discussion.
