Spotlight on the 2nd pillar - Status on 1 January 2022
Speaker: Mabelien Coppens
Every year, the FSMA publishes a sector overview "Spotlight on the 2nd pillar" with key data on supplementary pensions in Belgium, based on the figures in the DB2P database on 1 January 2022. This database collects data on pension plans for employees and self-employed workers. After this presentation, you'll know everything there is to know about the structure of the 2nd pillar.

How to expand and broaden access to the 2nd pillar in Belgium
Speaker: Pierre Devolder
Following the suggestion to broaden access to the second pillar in Belgium with a minimum contribution of 3%, we cover how this could be implemented based on experience in other countries and how best to assess this 3% compared to the replacement rate it would generate upon retirement.
