60 Minutes – The Day of Reckoning (December 19, 2010)
Airdate: 12/19/10 The federal government isn’t the only entity with a severe deficit problem. State and local governments across the country were already in financial trouble before the recession, but now many are in crisis — unable to pay their bills, planning huge lay-offs, not funding public pension funds. Are they facing a financial meltdown? Is the only solution another Washington bailout? Steve Kroft reports.

Lessons from Pension Reform in the Americas
Lessons from Pension Reform in the Americas
Latin American experiments with pension reform began when Chile converted its public pay-as-you-go system to a system of private individual accounts in 1981. In the 1990s, several other countries followed suit, inspired both by Chile’s reforms and World Bank recommendations that stressed adopting compulsory government-mandated individual savings accounts. Following the lead of Latin America, individual accounts were subsequently introduced in a number of countries in both Europe and Asia. The Wo

Structured Bond Scandal Revelations Highlight Governance Flaws in Greek State Pension System
London (PRWEB) August 1, 2007
Life & Pensions, the international journal of insurance and pension fund risk management, has published an exclusive article on the recent Greek structured bond scandal. Based on exclusive interviews with supplementary pension fund TEAPOKA and others, the article details:
How TEAPOKA was first approached by Athens brokerage Acropolis in November 2006 and why TEAPOKA accepted the proposal to invest in a €280 million structured bond deal
How the prospect of sharing in €20 million risk-free profit persuaded the Greek government to issue the bond with the help of investment bank JPMorgan and hedge fund North Asset Management
How TEAPOKA believed that information provided by its local custodian, the Bank of Greece, represented a fair market price for the bond
How this steadfast belief ultimately forced the Greek government, JPMorgan and North Asset Management to compensate the pension funds in full for their investment
How the Bank of Greece was forced to change its client portfolio valuation policy in response to the scandal
Nicholas Dunbar, editor of Life & Pensions, comments: “The offices of TEAPOKA and the Greek ministry of economy and finance are only a mile or so apart in Athens, but as far as the gap in sophistication was concerned the distance could have been to Mars.”
“Greek state pension funds have the onerous task of caring for millions of employees but they are very poorly advised and regulated in terms of managing their assets and liabilities.”
This story explains to all interested stakeholders just what went wrong and what kind of governance reforms are needed to bring Greece’s state pension system in line with other EU countries.

Unbalanced Pension Scheme Making Dents into the Already Battered Budgets of States
Unbalanced Pension Scheme Making Dents into the Already Battered Budgets of States
Unbalanced pension scheme is making dents into the already battered budgets of states with New York City and State being the worst affected. Many argue that there is nothing illegal or unethical if it happens that the pension is often many times more than the salary especially in the police and firefighting departments.
A spokesperson form the New York State Comptroller’s Office however said that an error pertaining to the city had been pointed by in 1986 by the Supreme Court of New York. It stated that the extra hours put in by the police force should not be taken into account while calculating the pension.
For New York and many other states the question of how to meet the generous pay packets being doled out has become a major problem at this point of time when the housing crisis has led to a drastic fall in revenue. It is translating into political death as other services are being cut to meet the pension requirements. Many of the cornered governments are reluctantly admitting they have promised their workers more than they can deliver.
In other developed countries both Greece as well as Spain have very recently cut down government pensions to deal with deficit budgets. The recently installed British government has observed that it will do some rethinking on the costs of public pension.
But under the present laws the municipalities of American cannot toe the same line. The constitution of New York State prevents public bodies from reducing the pace by which the workers build their pensions up throughout their tenure. It is in sharp contrast to the private sectors where the employers can alter the rate whenever they so desire. Since the last two years this is exactly what the firms have been doing. But the states and cities with an eye to the vote banks have been pleasing the unions – the vote banks.
The police and similar other workers engaged in looking after public safety generally retire after 20 years of service with full pension. Some other workers do so after working for three decades around the age of fifty five years. Those who are currently being recruited in New York will have to move along till sixty two years of age to avail of full benefits.
Data from Census shows that municipal pensions are much richer than the usual pensions doled out by firms.

Registered Pension Plan II – Assets and Liabilities
Registered Pension Plan II – Assets and Liabilities
Registered Pension plan is a form of a trust that provides pension benefits for an employee of a company upon retirement. RPPs are registered with the government. The employee and employer, or just the employer make contributions to this retirement plan until the employee leaves the company or retires. Contributions to an RPP are tax deductible for both the employee and the employer. Contributions to the plan and gains on underlying assets are tax deferred, so the funds are taxed when they are withdrawn from the plan. In this article, we will discuss assets and liabilities of registered pension plan
Every three years, registered pension plan requires to have actuarial evaluation by independent actuary company, because it is important to test the plan solvency and to adjust the contribution levels required to meet future liabilities. On the other word, this is the test to check future liabilities ans assets to meet future requirement to fund the retirement for companies’ employees.
1. Assets
Assets calculated by independent actuary company will provide an assumed value of future income using the same rate of interest assumption used on the fund payouts. This will give us a much more accurate assumption than if we were to calculate them using book value or market value.
2. Liabilities
The actuary will make rather conservative estimates in preparing present value assumptions for future payments, using the assumptions below:
a) Conservative rates of funding earnings, including interest, capital gains and dividends.
b) Raising employees salaries, the relationship between salary increases and the assumed rate of return of pension funds is a key calculation.
c) Estimates about the future of government pension levels of benefit and attempt to integrate those into the plan.
d) Rate of employee terminations.
e) Future mortality of participant and pensioners to fund the death benefit.
