Africa-Press – Angola. An Angolan delegation, headed by the chairman of the Angolan Agency for Regulation and Supervision of Insurance (ARSEG), Filomena Manjata, is participating in the Global Forum on Private Pensions 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey, from November 5th to 7th, aiming to discuss the main global challenges and trends in these sector.
The event is organized by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the International Organisation of Pension Supervisors (IOPS), the Insurance and Private Pension Regulation and Supervision Agency of Turkey (IPRSA) and the Turkish Pension Monitoring Centre (PMC).
The head of ARSEG considered the forum a platform of high technical and strategic value, which allows the country to share experiences, collect international best practices and align its regulatory framework with global standards of transparency, sustainability and protection.
She also mentioned that the country ́s participation reinforces its commitment to international regulatory convergence and the integration of best practices related to careful supervision, contributing equally to the institutional strengthening of ARSEG and to Angola’s positioning in the global dialogue on pensions and long-term savings.
In this regard, Filomena Manjata currently sees the reform of the private pension system as one of the pillars of the country’s economic and financial diversification strategy, as it promotes the strengthening of domestic savings, the development of capital markets, and the sustainable financing of the real economy.
Angola’s participation in this forum therefore represents a decisive step in consolidating a modern, inclusive, and financially sound pension system, aligned with international best practices and the country’s macroeconomic and social stability goals.
In addition to the ARSEG manager, the Angolan delegation also includes the director of the institution’s legal office, Carlos Lisboa, and the head of the Pension Funds department, Euclides Garcia.
The participation of the Angolan delegation in the event occurs at a particularly relevant moment, since the draft reform of pension fund legislation is being analyzed by the Angolan Cabinet Council, within the framework of modernizing and strengthening the national financial system.
Topic such as “Digitalization in pensions”, “Emerging trends in asset-based pension systems”, “Payment phase supervision and lifecycle strategies”, “Promoting participation in voluntary plans”, and “The role of pension funds in strengthening capital markets”, will be discussed by the participants during the event.
The event is expected to bring together high-level authorities from regulatory and supervisory bodies, international experts, academics and representatives of multilateral organizations.
The Global Forum on Private Pensions is a joint initiative of the OECD and IOPS, which annually brings together policymakers, regulators, and experts from around the world to discuss policies and trends aimed at strengthening pension systems.
