FIAP, jointly with the Brazilian Association of Pension Funds (Associação Brasileira das Entidades Fechadas de Previdência Complementar – ABRAPP), organized the international seminar “Trends in Pension Systems Worldwide,” which was held on October 3 and 4 in Rio de Janeiro, at the Windsor Oceânico hotel.

The main objectives of this seminar were to review the evolution of pension systems in light of demographic trends, labor markets, and public pension policies, as well as to analyze the various existing mechanisms to universalize social protection, particularly pension savings, for which adequate public policy options are required (such as contributions through consumption, incentives for pension savings through the use of behavioral economics, automatic enrollment in pension plans, the use of retirement bonds issued by the State, among others). Furthermore, during the seminar, we highlighted that:

We emphasized finding solutions to strengthen the labor market so that, through greater formality, better pensions could be achieved for workers. Ways to improve the risk/return profile of pension fund investments were explored. The political and social situation in Latin America and its relationship with the pension reforms that were being discussed at the time were analyzed. We had international experts who presented their experiences and knowledge on different topics of interest, and there were participants from different regions of the world (members of FIAP and ABRAPP and others), including government authorities, parliamentarians, officials of international organizations, representatives of pension fund administrators, mutual funds, insurance companies, and other personalities related to the financial and social security field. The seminar was attended by between 300 and 400 people, including Brazilians and foreigners (mainly from Latin American member countries of FIAP).
