'The cost of superannuation is predicted to increase from its current level of 4% of GDP to over 8% of GDP by 2050. In today’s terms, that’s an extra five billion dollars each year.’
Day 1: Savings and Superannuation
Day 1 will cover updates on policy issues and the savings industry, covering topics such as an update on the December 2003 Periodic Report Group, international policy comparisons and assessing the savings position for employees and employers. The political viewpoints on key policies will be debated by the Associate Minister for Finance, Hon. David Cunliffe, and John Key, Deputy Finance Spokesperson for the National Party. New Zealand Treasury will deliver some findings from the recent Household Savings Survey, debate the issue of retirement savings in New Zealand now and lead into a discussion on the current needs of employees and employers with respect to savings.
