Overall Assessment

This Methodology is intended to underpin an assessment that will identify the nature and extent of specific strengths and weaknesses of the private pensions systems in a jurisdiction in order to help identify reform priorities through policy dialogue so as to ultimately improve the performance of private pensions in delivering deferred remuneration and to provide security to plan members. The emphasis is on how the private pensions regulatory framework actually functions as a whole or as a system: the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts which is important to take into account when considering policy priorities.
