Astazi la Frankfurt am Main (Germania) se desfasoara editia din 2012 a Congresului European al Fondurilor de Pensii, gazduit in mod traditional de EFRP - European Federation for Retirement Provision. Organizat in cadrul EURO FINANCE WEEK, Congresul reuneste speakeri de renume care vor prezenta inovatiile aduse la nivelul sistemelor de pensii din intreaga lume."Urmatorii ani vor fi definitorii pentru viitorul pensiilor in Europa, precum si pentru perspectivele de pensie ale cetatenilor europeni. Provocarile vor consta in portabilitatea pensiilor, rolul fondurilor de pensii ca solutii de investitie pe termen lung intr-un mediu economic care ramane in continuare dificil, precum si o analiza critica a Directivei IOPR", a declarat Joanne SEGARS, Chief Executive, UK National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), cu ocazia alegerii sale in functia de Presedinte al EFRP.
In acest context, sesiunile de dezbatere din acest an se vor axa pe trei teme principale:
- ambitia pensiilor intr-o lume nesigura;
- peisajul in schimbare al investitiilor in sistemul de pensii;
- inovatii eficiente aduse sistemelor de pensii la nivel international.
Steve WEBB, Ministrul de Stat pe problema Pensiilor si Membru al Parlamentului va vorbi in deschiderea evenimentului, iar vorbitorii, profesionisti recunoscuti la nivel international, vor aborda in mod variat temele si problemele anuntate. Congresul va include de asemenea un moment special dedicat anuntului oficial al deciziei EFRP de a schimba numele organizatiei in PensionsEurope.
