The European Commission’s Savings and Investments Union strategy recognises the need for bold measures to enhance retail participation in capital markets and improve pension adequacy. EFAMA has long advocated measures to address the growing pension gap and raise awareness of this issue.
As part of its continuous efforts to promote long-term savings among EU households, EFAMA organised e a high-level discussion featuring three distinguished speakers:
Pablo Antolin, Head of Insurance and Pensions, Financial and Enterprise Affairs, OECD
Petra Hielkema, Chairperson, EIOPA
Steffen Kern, Chief Economist and Head of Risk, ESMA
The discussion focused on:
- The current state of retail savings and investments and pension adequacy
- Financial literacy as the foundation of an investment-savvy culture
- Best practices and key policy levers
From words to actions: how to get Member States’ buy-in and achieve measurable progress?
This exclusive, invitation-only event also honoured Bernard Delbecque, who recently retired as EFAMA's Senior Director for Economics and Research. During a fireside chat preceding the panel discussion, Bernard shared his insights on these topics, drawing on his extensive experience at EFAMA.
