14th Pension Seminar Maastricht
"Europe’s challenge: Better pensions and more prosperity through opening up the capital market"
Why is the capital market in the United States better developed than in Europe, while Europe has a larger consumer market? The impact of being behind not only affects European prosperity and European and national legislation and regulations, but also influences the way in which Europeans build up provisions for their old age. What is it that prevents Europe from developing its capital markets efficiently?
How can we ensure that Europe and its member states take steps in this regard? Pension funds must of course respond to the regulations within the capital markets union. But the union and its member states must also be more stimulated to save more for their pension and to accept more risk in this respect. Could a better insight into their pension convince them to change their attitude? What does this mean for the Netherlands, where ‘De Nederlandsche Bank’ is closely monitoring developments?
The key question: how do we create an infrastructure that not only contributes to better access to the capital market, but also encourages participants to build more actively on their pension? What would be needed to improve this complex interplay between regulation, infrastructure and risk appetite, so that Europe no longer lags behind and the pension participant benefits from it?
During this afternoon we will address these questions; not only with the speakers, but certainly also with an active contribution from you!
