2026 Global Retirement Index: All things must pass

By Natixis “Will my pension be enough?” “How much do I have to save?” “ How long will it have to last?” These are the fundamental questions behind one of the most complicated math problems individuals will ever attempt to solve and not one of the variables is defined. Nobody knows how long they’re going to live. Nobody knows how much things will cost. Nobody knows what health, economic, or environmental disruptions they’ll face along the way. Lacking the data for a precise answer,...

UK. Logged in, checked out: The user experience problem pensions won’t face

The average pension app is a decade behind the average banking app. Until that changes, engagement is structurally impossible, argues PensionPay’s Archie Pritchett. Open a workplace pension app on a Monday morning – if you even have one – and in 30 seconds you can see a balance updated several weeks ago, a projection figure with no explanation attached, and a ‘change contributions’ page that ends with the words “please contact your employer”. Open a banking app, and in 30 seconds...

España. Pensiones y mercados: una alianza necesaria

Por Juan Flames Una enseñanza constante de la historia es que anticiparse permite evitar que las crisis escalen. El azar es inevitable, pero existe una diferencia fundamental entre la mala suerte y las consecuencias de la inacción. El pasado ofrece ejemplos en los que la demora o la falta de decisiones oportunas desencadenaron crisis cuyas dimensiones solo pudieron comprenderse cuando ya era demasiado tarde. Como afirma Morgan Housel, la mayoría de las grandes debacles no surgen de un único acontecimiento,...

OECD urges UK to ditch triple lock

The UK government must scrap the state pension triple lock to tackle its vulnerable public finances, according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). In its latest survey of the country’s economy , the body said that the triple lock “puts upward pressure on public expenditure and adds significant fiscal risks by exposing public finances to supply shocks”.

Population Aging Is Here. Immigration Can Offer Half an Answer.

Population aging has become a defining challenge of our time and is galloping ahead faster than predicted. In China, births have now fallen to levels not seen since 1949. But many countries are getting old before they grow rich: Comparable declines are being seen in Latin America, the Middle East, and North Africa. A shrinking workforce means less money to go around and increasing difficulties shouldering the costs of covering health care and pensions for retirees. In many fast-aging, wealthier...

The China Imbalance Residual: A Demographic Decomposition

By Brian Peters The Chinese current-account surplus has averaged approximately 2 percent of GDP since 2015, declining from a 2007 peak near 10 percent yet remaining far above what its income level and demographic structure would predict in a global panel. We estimate this gap as the residual against the income-conditional demographic baseline fitted on 140 countries with China held out. The residual averages +5 to +12 percentage points of GDP across four sub-periods of 2000-2024, peaks at +14.3 pp...
