21 Overview 1. General characteristics of the Slovak pension system 2. Major changes in the design 3. Underlying reasons 4. Challenges and lessons 21
22 Challenges in the design Low returns Financing gaps in public pension pillar (pressure on fiscal deficits) fiscal affordability needed in the short run Huge inception costs (agents) No economy of scale (dedicated pension managers too costly) Public and political consensus needed Not immune from political influence 22
23 Lessons Not easy to completely reverse the reform Bilateral investment treaties (protection of foreign pension providers) Ownership rights of savers Endowment Further alternatives for pension saving 23
