This round-table, organized by the International Federation of Pension Fund Administrators (FIAP) and the Mexican Association of Pension Fund Managers (AMAFORE), was held in Mexico City on January 28, 2016. The purpose of the meeting was to share the experiences of Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Peru, highlighting the achievements in Individual and Collective Voluntary Pension Saving, and past and future challenges.

The event was attended by representatives of the pension fund managers and supervising agencies, authorities and leading Latin American experts in voluntary pension savings matters, who analyzed the experiences of different countries and proposed future actions for promoting the development of this industry.

The discussion focused on three central themes: i) The relevance of Voluntary Pension Savings for achieving pensions in line with workers’ expectations; (ii) The most important reasons for the lack of development of Voluntary Pension Saving; and iii) Proposals for promoting the growth of the Voluntary Pension Savings industry.
