EIOPA and National Bank of Slovakia hold a conference on personal pensions

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) and the
National Bank of Slovakia (NBS) are holding today, on 15 April 2014 in
Bratislava (Slovakia) an international conference dedicated to the
creation of a single market for personal pensions in the EU.

The event is organised in the context of EIOPA's work that has been
initiated on request of the European Commission. It follows the
publication in February 2014 of EIOPA's Preliminary Report on the
prudential regulation and consumer protection measures needed to create a
single market for personal pensions.

I am pleased that we could gather an impressive list of speakers from the
consumer, industry, academia and public institutions to debate this
challenge. I am thankful to our colleagues from the National Bank of
Slovakia for their active participation in this debate and for the
opportunity to organise this conference here in Bratislava".

The conference aims at discussing regulatory changes that are needed to
facilitate cross-border provision of personal pensions in order to improve
the adequacy, sustainability and safety of pensions in Europe.
Participants will speak about such challenges as the information needs of
the personal pension plans holders, delivery of high-quality and low-cost
pension solutions, and the possible influence of behavioural economics on
the policy making process. The discussions should help to identify ways to
deal with obstacles to the creation of a single market for personal
pensions.

The event starts at 10.00 hrs CET. Click here (Link:
