The Brazilian Pension Funds Authority (PREVIC) reported on its participation in the International IOPS/AIOS/SUPEN 2025 Conference in San José, Costa Rica, where it discussed cross-country supervisory experiences in private pensions and outlined Brazil’s perspective on demographic and labour-market pressures. The conference brought together regulatory and supervisory authorities, pension fund sector experts and research institutes from around 30 countries, covering issues including longevity combined with low birth rates, rising reliance on public assistance funds, ongoing labour-market changes and informality. PREVIC’s Director for Supervision and Monitoring, João Paulo de Souza, pointed to Brazil’s level of social coverage in pensions and public health and described the Brazilian pension fund sector as internationally recognised, with resources around 12% of national GDP. He highlighted the need to expand complementary pensions through new plans designed for current demographic and employment patterns, including informal work, contractors working through legal entities, small businesses and self-employed professionals. The conference Executive Committee approved a further meeting in Paris in November 2025, and the 2026 conference is scheduled for March in Hong Kong. PREVIC also noted that it was elected to the IOPS Council for the 2025–2026 term.
