5 Some key issues tackled
Scheme classification Hybrid schemes, post-retirement arrangements Delineation of "pensions" Treatment of survivor pensions, disability benefits Treatment of social-assistance like features Cases of 'minimum pensions' Discount rate Use of a common harmonised rate, consistent with Ageing Working Group

6 Communication Background in Europe - strong fiscal sustainability and government debt focus Plan for coordinated release and communication in March 2018 Focus on household assets in the table

7 Implementation of the table outside Europe
OECD proposal for data collection Collect during 2018 (then every 3 years) First reference year: 2015 Template broadly in line with Eurostat table Remaining issue on the discount rate to be applied Use of Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) approach? Consultation to explore these issues, as well as general ability of countries to provide data

8 Questions for the AEG Take note of experiences in Europe and plans for data collection for non-European countries Given the experiences, can we conclude that the overall table is proving fit for purpose? Are there borderline (conceptual) issues which remain to be resolved? What should the main communication focus be when communicating the table to users?
