Our Private Pension Expert Group covers economic and regulatory issues related to private pension schemes, sustainability of the schemes, funding, governance, protection of benefits, and financial education. The Covid-19 pandemic reinforced the need for a long-term perspective that can help prepare for future uncertainty through sustainable and flexible retirement savings schemes. The Expert Group advocates that regulation of pension plans must balance the interest of all stakeholders, including sponsor organizations. Business at OECD works to ensure that the policy guidance developed by the OECD on occupational pension defined benefit (DB) plans as well as defined contribution plans (DC) are aligned with the interest of employers as well as beneficiaries.
