Pension reform: Agirc-Arrco is doing well

Complementary pension schemes should benefit from the game of pension reform. This must “in particular” increase the surpluses of the Agirc-Arrco plan, the compulsory supplementary pension plan for private sector employees, underlines the impact study prepared by the government.

For the record, the reform presented to the Council of Ministers on Monday should allow the entire pension system to be in balance by 2030, against an expected deficit of 13.5 billion euros. However, this overall balance hides significant disparities in the financial situation of the schemes at this time. The aligned schemes which cover private sector employees, public service contract workers, craftsmen and traders should notably remain in the red.
