French lawmakers weigh political risk of curbing boomers’ costly pensions

 France's government has put the country's explosive pensions issue back on the agenda as it seeks to reduce a gaping budget hole. But this time, it wants pensioners to contribute to belt-tightening efforts themselves. It also wants lawmakers used to pandering to older voters to back it. Economists and analysts say that if France really wants to tackle its bloated public spending, the baby-boom generation - those born between 1946 and 1964 - must take a hit to their pensions,...

In like manner, the funding status of private-sector pension plans showed slight progress — or slight decline — this September, depending on the analysis. But the common theme is that there was relative stability. This marks the second consecutive month in which the funding of private-sector pension plans had mixed results.

The study compares NPS with six European,...

Regulators increase scrutiny on funded reinsurance amid pension de-risking surge

The growing use of innovative “funded” or “asset-intensive” reinsurance structures by life insurance companies has attracted regulatory attention, particularly in light of the expanding pension de-risking market.
