The Big Story: Is Singapore's CPF really one of the best pension systems in the world?

from Money Matters with Hongbin Jeong and Chua Tian Tian · host MONEY FM 89.3

Singapore’s Central Provident Fund has just reached a major milestone, becoming the first pension system in Asia-Pacific to earn an ‘A’ rating in the Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index. It’s now in the same league as global leaders like Denmark, the Netherlands and Israel, systems often praised for their balance of adequacy, sustainability, and integrity. But as the population ages, life expectancy rises, and retirement expectations evolve, the big question is whether the CPF can continue to meet the diverse needs of future retirees, without compromising flexibility or fairness. On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Lena Teng, Learning & Development and CPF Specialist, Providend, to find out more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
