The International Federation of Pension Fund Administrators, FIAP, and the Colombian Association of Pension and Retirement Fund Managers, ASOFONDOS, are very pleased to announce that the Fifth FIAP-ASOFONDOS International Congress which was held on April 26 and 27, 2012, in the Hilton Hotel in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.
Five years ago, FIAP and ASOFONDOS organized the first version of this International Pension Funds Congress to provide a space for the analysis and exchange of constructive ideas and proposals that could contribute to the difficult task of designing the public policies of our countries.
Our commitment is to maintain the academic level of former congresses, so we are pleased to invite you to the conference of the 2004 winner of the Nobel Prize for Economy, Edward C. Prescott, a pioneer in the study of economic cycles, who will speak on the role of governments, investment and taxes in the origins and solutions of the current crisis, with some reflections for Latin America.
And to answer the question as to why the large majority of Latin American countries have not managed to overcome the political, social and economic obstacles blocking the route to development, we have the pleasure of inviting you to the conference of Harvard Professor Mr. James Robinson, who will talk on his acclaimed book jointly written with Daron Acemoglu, “Why Nations Fail: The origins of power, prosperity and poverty”.
Similarly, the analysis of demographic aspects, ageing, competitiveness, economic development, employment and inequality, investment in infrastructure, the economic situation of Europe and Latin America, among other issues, will be examined by academically brilliant national and international speakers, And, of course, reflections on the pension reforms of several Latin American countries will be the subject of serious debate and analysis.
The Colombian pensions industry and representatives of FIAP will be much honored to have you accompany us.
