The Retirement Income Policy Review terms of reference have been released by the Government, and a project manager for
the review is appointed at the Commission for Financial Capability.
The Retirement Policy and Research Centre is holding a one-day public summit on Friday 26 April, at the University of
Auckland Business School to examine some of the issues raised by the review, including the fiscal impact of ageing, the
future shape of the age pension in New Zealand, KiwiSaver, intergenerational equity, the changing nature of work, the
capacity of the health sector, the health of the financial sector, and lessons for New Zealand from international
developments in finance and pensions.
In line with this Government’s emphasis on wellbeing and sustainability, the terms of reference stress that the review
must assess “the effectiveness of current retirement policies for financially vulnerable and low-income groups, and
recommendations for any policies that could improve their retirement outcomes”.
Hear New Zealand experts on retirement income policy share their thinking on the issues set out in the Terms of
Reference.
Among these are Diana Crossan, former Retirement Commissioner; Matthew Bell, Treasury; Judith Davey, Institute for
Governance and Policy Studies; Richard Klipin, EO Financial Services Council; Len Cook, former Chief Statistician for
New Zealand and the UK.
International speakers, including David Harris, MD TOR Financial Consulting Ltd; and Calvert Duffy, an Australian
Governance, Risk and Compliance consultant, will comment on likely implications and possible lessons from overseas
events including the Australian Royal Commissions.
