Pension Accord Special After 10 years of intense consensus decision-making, negotiations about the pension accord have reached a final stage. If the social partners manage to reach an accord, this will have far-reaching consequences for pension plans, the job market as well as the Dutch economy. If negotiations fail, the big question is: What now? Either way, there is a need for clarity and an accessible, qualitative analysis of the outcome of the negotiations. Economy trade journal ESB and pensions trade journal Pensioen Pro will be providing this in a unique joint publication with contributions from top economists and pension experts. This special edition of at least 32 pages and a print run of 6,200 will be published 6 weeks after an accord is reached or not. The publication will be available in both pensions and policy circles and will serve as the frame of reference for the discussions that will follow. ESB and Pension Pro are looking to invite a select number of partners as sponsors of this special edition in form of sponsor or main sponsor.
