Cross-border pension plan among matters to be discussed at Europe pension forum

European Union officials, bankers, lawyers, academics and others are getting together at a pan-European conference on May 17-18 to discuss developments in and plans for Europe’s pension industry.

The Pan-European Pension Forum, to be held in Prague, will address a range of issues, including the use of artificial intelligence by pension funds, various demographic impacts of aging, and the Pan-European Personal Pension Product (Pepp), an EU planned cross-border pension scheme.

The Financial Times said Pepps would be accessible to more than 240m retirement savers across the EU and give them “more choice in the fragmented and uneven European market, where options are nearly non-existent in some member states”.

The newspaper quoted European Commission vice-president Valdis Dombrovskis as describing the Pepp project as “an important milestone” towards completing the EU’s planned Capital Markets Union.

The conference has been organised by Global Leading Conferences, an event organisation company headquartered in Budapest.
