The Dominican Republic's Pensions Superintendency participated in the FIAP-WPA 2026 international seminar in San José, Costa Rica, where regulators and industry representatives discussed how pension systems should adapt to longer life expectancy, labor market change and faster technological development. The event was framed around the theme "Pensions for the Future," with Superintendent Francisco A. Torres focusing on how retirement systems can continue to provide protection, security and sustainability under those pressures. SIPEN was represented by Torres and Executive Director Joan Carlo Henríquez during the two-day agenda. Discussions covered artificial intelligence, labor market trends and pensions, demographic change in Latin America, the impact of early withdrawals on retirement savings, decumulation design, extending social protection to informal workers, retirement solutions for current and future workforces, generational funds, geopolitics and market volatility. The release also noted that FIAP and the World Pension Alliance held the meeting jointly for the first time, while Dominican pension industry representative Kirsis Jáquez of ADAFP took part in a panel on pension reforms in Latin America.
