The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) is seeking information and insights to inform the development of a toolkit for defined contribution (DC) pensions.
Announcing the launch of its call for evidence, the EU supervisory authority said it was interested in case studies, data, statistics, research, and lessons learned from international experiences.
The DC toolkit seeks to foster the development of supplementary DC pensions as well as enhance existing DC arrangements.
Aimed at policymakers, social partners, regulators and supervisors, it will provide practical guidance, principles and non-binding recommendations to help member states address growing pension gaps.
“Recognising that one-size-fits-all solutions do not exist, the DC pensions toolkit will offer practical guidance and principles that policymakers will be able to tailor to address their specific national needs,” said EIOPA.
“It will provide considerations on how to maintain flexibility in DC pension systems amid evolving labour market conditions, guidance on the design of accumulation and decumulation phases, and principles to ensure that DC pension plans deliver value for money to savers.”
Stakeholders are being asked to respond to the call for evidence no later than 28 November 2025.
EIOPA has also said that its DC pensions toolkit will also reflect discussions during a DC pensions roundtable being held tomorrow, which will focus on retirement income adequacy, supervision, and pension product innovation.
