ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT (OECD)

The OECD brings together the governments of countries committed to democracy and the market economy from around the world to support sustainable economic growth and raise living standards, among other goals. The Organisation provides a setting where governments compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and coordinate domestic and international policies.For 50 years, the OECD has been one of the world’s largest and most reliable sources of comparable sta-tistics and economic and social data. As well as collecting data, the OECD monitors trends, analyses and forecasts of economic developments and researches social changes or evolving patterns in trade, environ-ment, agriculture, technology, taxation and more. The OECD Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs (DAF) helps governments to improve the domes-tic and global policies that affect business and markets. DAF identifies policies and best practices designed to keep markets open, competitive and sustainable while combating market abuses and economic crime through international co-operation. It works in the fields of anti corruption, corporate governance, competi-tion law and policy, investment, financial markets, insurance, private pensions, and private sector develop-ment.Through the Working Party on Private Pensions, the OECD monitors and reviews private pension systems in member and selected non-member countries, analyses policy and technical issues, formulates policy recommendations and promotes policy dialogue with non-OECD countries. The Working Party on Private Pensions led the development of the Core Principles of Occupational Pension Regulation and participates closely in the OECD statistical monitoring exercise (Global Pension Statistics) as well as various publica-tions, such as the OECD Working Paper Series on Finance, Insurance and Private Pensions, OECD Pen-sions at a Glance and the OECD Pensions Outlook.

THE WORLD PENSIONS COUNCIL

The World Pensions Council (WPC) is an independent policy research organization dedicated to innovative, enquiry based analysis that helps strengthen interdisciplinary research in a wide array of pension related topics such as demographics, actuarial science and statistical methods, public and private pension policies, asset allocation, and pension fund governance. The institutional seminars and conferences we help organize serve the dual purpose of providing a platform for networking and exchanging ideas between leading academics, policy makers, pension professionals and fund managers, as well as developing advanced pension-oriented research programs that will benefit the investment community at large.
