World Bank report shines spotlight on Canadian pension model
Canadian public pension funds and pension plans are regarded as among the best in the world, but they underwent an evolution of changes to get to where they are today. Because of their success, the World Bank Group partnered with four Canadian pension funds, Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP), and OPTrust, as well as the Government of Ontario on a report that studies the evolution of these plans.
The World Bank Group will use the report, authored by Toronto-based firm Common Wealth, to inform its work to strengthen retirement security in emerging economies and increase dialogue on successful pension models in Canada.
World Bank CFO Joaquim Levy attended the launch of the report “The Evolution of the Canadian Pension Model” today at The Omni King Edward Hotel. Hosted by the Canadian Club Toronto, a panel discussion showcased the evolution and endeavours of the pension funds and offered lessons for emerging economies seeking to improve their retirement systems and public pension institutions.
