On 20 November 2025, the Commission published a package of two legislative proposals aimed at enhancing supplementary and personal pensions. The initiative comes at a time when ageing populations are putting increased pressure on state-based pension systems for future generations, and the EU’s priorities, namely the green and digital transitions, defence and innovation, require significant private investment. Channelling citizens’ savings into supplementary pensions would mitigate both issues simultaneously. The package forms part of the strategy for the savings and investments union (SIU).
