Actuaries predict that girls born in 2021 will have an average life expectancy of just under 92 years, while life expectancy for boys is slightly more than 89 years: roughly 1 year less than originally forecast. Michel Vellekoop (ASE), vice-chair of this committee says ‘Pension funds and insurers use this prognosis to estimate which arrangements they will retain. The coverage ratio for the average pension fund with a 100% coverage ratio will increase by about 2%'.
The prognosis is published once every 2 years. In this edition, the committe has also included a comprehensive sensitivity analysis to assess the potential impact of COVID-19.
