EIOPA's Occupational Pensions Stakeholder Group (OPSG) summarises contributions from Portugal, Romania, Italy and Malta for the consumer trends report. They agree that low participation in supplementary pensions, poor financial literacy and trust, and value for money are the main issues.
Key points
- Auto-enrolment emerges as a key response; Italy applies it to new private-sector hires from July 2026
- Malta has very low participation and Romania suffers from inflation eroding savings
- They call for clear and comparable information tailored to each national system
Who is affected
Occupational pension funds, members and supervisors
Plain-language version
The pensions stakeholder group advising EIOPA, the EU watchdog for insurers and pension plans, pulls together the picture in Portugal, Romania, Italy and Malta: few people have a top-up pension, financial knowledge and trust are low, and value for money is not always there. They see automatic enrolment as key; Italy has applied it to new private-sector hires since July 2026.
