The state pension age will not change in 2025. It will remain 67 years, just like in 2024. The state pension age for 2030 was announced at the beginning of November. This has been set at 67 years and 3 months, which is the same as 2028 and 2029.

According to the Pensions Act, the state pension age must be set five years in advance, so that people know where they stand. That is why the government determines every year at what age people will be five years of state pension. Once the state pension age has been determined, it cannot be changed. The state pension age depends mainly on the life expectancy expected by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).

In 2024, we will have achieved a 12.6% return by investing the pension assets. With this result, we are in the top three of the more than 170 pension funds in the Netherlands that were surveyed by consultants from OverRendement and Bell.
We are expected to implement the new pension scheme from January 1, 2026. We are preparing for this, so that this transition is done carefully. For example, in 2024 we switched to a new pension administration system. In this administration system, we can administer our current and future pension scheme. In short: with this administration system we are ready for the future.
