This book was released on 1996-08-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chilean pension reform of 1981, in which Chile moved from an unfunded to a funded scheme, is considered to have contributed to this country’s excellent economic performance since the mid-1980s. The paper highlights the theoretical underpinnings of the claimed economic effects and presents empirical data and preliminary econometric testing of the conjectured growth, capital formation, and saving effects. The empirical evidence is consistent with most of the claims. In particular, the direct impact of financial market development on private saving is found to be negative, which underscores the importance of sound fiscal policy and public saving to support the transition.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Formal pension systems are an important means of reducing poverty among the aged. In recent years, however, pension reform has become a pressing matter, as demographic aging, poor administration, early retirement, and unaffordable benefits have strained pension balances and overall public finances. Pension systems have become a source of macroeconomic instability, a constraint to economic growth, and an ineffective and/or inequitable provider of retirement income."

This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pension reform in several emerging market countries has been associated with rapid growth in assets under management and a positive impact on the development of local securities markets. However, limitations on such development may lead to asset price distortions, bubbles, and concentration of risks. Regulatory limits on pension fund investments are assessed in light of these risks and developments in modern portfolio theory. A gradual but decisive loosening of restrictions on equity and foreign investments is recommended. Changes in these regulations ought to be coordinated with measures designed to foster the development of local securities markets as well as with macroeconomic policies.

Book Synopsis Pension Reform and Capital Market Development "Feasibility" and "Impact" Preconditions by : Dimitri Vittas
Download or read book Pension Reform and Capital Market Development "Feasibility" and "Impact" Preconditions written by Dimitri Vittas and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private pension funds are neither necessary nor sufficient for capital market development. But if they are subject to conducive regulations, adopt optimizing policies, and operate in a pluralistic structure, they can have a large impact on capital market modernization and development once they reach a critical mass.The link between pension reform and capital market development has become a perennial question, raised every time the potential benefits and preconditions of pension reform are discussed. Vittas asks two questions. First, what are the basic feasibility preconditions for the successful launch of a pension reform program? And second, what are the necessary impact preconditions for the realization of the potential benefits of funded pension plans for capital market development?His main conclusion is that the feasibility preconditions are not as demanding as is sometimes assumed. In contrast, the impact preconditions are more onerous. The most important feasibility precondition is a strong and lasting commitment of the authorities to maintaining macroeconomic and financial stability, fostering a small core of solvent and efficient banks and insurance companies, and creating an effective regulatory and supervisory agency. Opening the domestic banking and insurance markets to foreign participation can easily fulfill the second requirement. The main impact preconditions include the attainment of critical mass; the adoption of conducive regulations, especially on pension fund investments; the pursuit of optimizing policies by the pension funds; and a prevalence of pluralistic structures.Vittas also argues that pension funds are neither necessary nor sufficient for capital market development. Other forces, such as advances in technology, deregulation, privatization, foreign direct investment, and especially regional and global economic integration, may be equally important. But pension funds are critical players in symbiotic finance, the simultaneous and mutually reinforcing presence of many important elements of modern financial systems. They can support the development of factoring, leasing, and venture capital companies, all of which specialize in financing new and expanding small firms.This paper - a product of Finance, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to study the impact of institutional investing on capital markets.

The final part raises issues which are of particular relevance for central banks, namely ageing and financial stability and how ageing will affect monetary policy.
Book Synopsis The Challenge of Public Pension Reform in Advanced and Emerging Economies by : Mr.Benedict J. Clements
Download or read book The Challenge of Public Pension Reform in Advanced and Emerging Economies written by Mr.Benedict J. Clements and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pension reform is high on the policy agenda of many advanced and emerging market economies. In advanced economies the challenge is generally to contain future increases in public pension spending as the population ages. In emerging market economies, the challenges are often different. Where pension coverage is extensive, the issues are similar to those in advanced economies. Where pension coverage is low, the key challenge will be to expand coverage in a fiscally sustainable manner. This volume examines the outlook for public pension spending over the coming decades and the options for reform in 52 advanced and emerging market economies.
Book Synopsis Pension Reform and Capital Markets by : Eduardo Walker
Download or read book Pension Reform and Capital Markets written by Eduardo Walker and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chilean-style pension reform, leading to the creation of fully-funded privately managed pension systems, may have significant positive direct effects on savings, growth, and welfare. However, the indirect link, via capital market development, may be as important. This hypothesis is verified with evidence from Emerging Economies that have recently engaged in such reforms. Chile, Argentina and Peru are analysed more deeply.There is abundant qualitative and anecdotal evidence that relates pension reform with the accumulation of quot;institutional capitalquot;, with the existence of a dynamic legal framework, with increased professionalism, transparency and integrity and also with a better corporate governance balance. Evidence of increased financial innovation is also found; of bank disintermediation, however, it is not.In addition, the statistical, time-series and panel-data evidence is consistent with the following hypotheses: a reduction in firms' cost of capital; lower security-price volatility; and higher traded volumes. Overall, this indirect channel (Levine and Zervos, 1998) may have important implications for economic growth and productivity.
Book Synopsis Pension Reform in the Presence of Financial Market Risk by : Barry Bosworth
Download or read book Pension Reform in the Presence of Financial Market Risk written by Barry Bosworth and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As their populations grow older, the industrial countries face steep increases in public pension costs. If countries change their pension systems in advance of sharply higher pension costs, it is possible to prepare for the added retirement costs by funding a portion of the future liabilities through increased saving. By boosting capital formation and economic growth, higher saving has the potential to increase the incomes - and the welfare - of future workers and retirees. This paper considers investment accumulation and pension adequacy in light of financial market risk. We examine two alternative reforms of the U.S. pension system that are aimed at pre-funding part of future pension liabilities and increasing national saving. The first policy expands the role of advance funding in the existing Social Security system by moving toward a policy of tax increases that are large enough to maintain close actuarial balance over a 75-year horizon. Under the alternative policy, the traditional Social Security program adopts pay-as-you-go financing after 2033 and a new system of individual investment accounts is adopted to supplement (reduced) pensions under the traditional system. Advance funding takes place in the new individual investment account system. The findings reported in this paper show the implications of investing part of the pension fund accumulation in assets which are subject to significant financial market risk. A major conclusion is that the magnitude of financial risk is empirically quite large. Surprisingly, some of the risks connected with advance funding can be even greater when assets are accumulated within the traditional Social Security program rather than individual investment accounts. Although advance funding in Social Security holds out the promise of raising national saving and future output even more than fund accumulation in individual accounts, the variability of returns on Trust Fund investments can have more far-reaching effects on the aggregate economy, through its potential impact on national savings, returns on capital, and the average wages. For example, a sequence of unexpectedly high investment returns on Trust Fund reserves might induce policymakers to reduce the Social Security contribution rate, lessening the flow of net savings from Trust Fund accumulation. The reduced rate of saving would in turn slow the growth of the capital stock, possibly increasing the real return on capital and reducing still further the required contribution rate for Social Security.
Book Synopsis Pension Reform, Insitutional Investors' Growth and Stock Market Development in the Developing Countries? Does it Function? by : Aneta Hryckiewicz

This book was released on 2009 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost one decade, the developing countries have tried to spur the development of their local capital markets. However, despite the initiated macroeconomic and financial reforms, the performance of the securities markets has remained relatively weak for most of the time. The recent dramatic growth of the institutional investors' assets has raised new hope for these countries. In this paper, we evaluate an empirical link between recent institutional assets' growth, institutional behaviour and stock market performance in the developing countries. Using the GMM technique on the panel of eight Central and Eastern European (CEE) developing countries over the period of 1994-2006, our results indicate that institutional development exerts a robust and significant impact on the securities markets' growth in the developing countries. In particular, we find that institutional investors contribute to the greater activity of the emerging capital markets and this effect is a result of higher demand for the local securities induced by these institutions. In addition, in countries where the institutional investors actively participate in the corporate governance, their presence possibly reduces the cost of capital for firms and also positively influences the stock market capitalization. Our findings suggest that the pension reform has contributed significantly to the institutional development and stock market growth in the CEE countries. However, we find that magnitude of these effects depends on the pension scheme a country relies upon. These effects are also exogenous to the structure of the economy in these countries.
