Pension workshop starts tomorrow

Update: 8:06PM A FIRST regional workshop on improving social protection roles of Pacific Pension Systems will be held tomorrow.

The two-day workshop titled �Strengthening Pension Systems and Health Coverage in the Pacific� will address additional challenges faced by public pension systems in the region. 

The Fiji National Provident Fund and the Asian Development Bank are jointly hosting the workshop at the Grand Pacific Hotel from tomorrow as part of both institutions celebrating their respective 50th Anniversaries. 

ADB with the support from the Pacific Pension and Investment Institute in San Francisco, USA and other development partners intend to raise awareness on issues affecting the performance of Pacific retirement funds, with a view to strengthening the financial position of these funds so that they can, in time, provide retirement incomes to contributors through their retirement.
