Details
Times change but defined benefit pension plans don't always change with them. Around the world, nations are seeking to recreate the distinctive Canadian pension plan model, though the economic circumstances that gave rise to it no longer exist. At the 2023 Conference, presenters will discuss whether the model remains fit for purpose in a period defined by central bank intervention, supply chain disruption, rising interest rates and the transition away from fossil fuels. It will also look at how the public sector pension plans that originally developed it are tweaking their original design to capture the opportunities of a new era.
