This is how we did it in 2024
8 July 2025The first half of 2025 is over and we would like to look back on the year 2024 with you. In our Annual Overview 2024, we have outlined the most important facts and figures.
The new pension scheme is a solidarity-based contribution scheme. An important and mandatory element of this scheme is the solidarity reserve. The solidarity reserve is a separate reserve that protects the pension benefits. The solidarity reserve has two objectives:
The social partners have agreed that the solidarity reserve should be 7.5% at the start of the new pension scheme. This seems to be high enough to prevent pensions from dropping in a year. Each year, 20% of the reserve can be used to supplement pension benefits up to the level of the previous year’s pension benefit. In this way, we can absorb several bad years. This reduces the chance that the pensions of pensioners will be reduced in a year.
