Name: Vanbreda Risk & Benefits
Price range: $

The increase in the minimum guaranteed return on supplementary pensions has been officially announced. The change will take effect at the beginning of 2025. Here is an update.

We have previously described how an increase in the yields on Belgian government bonds (OLOs) leads to an increase in the minimum return on supplementary pensions as set out in the Law on Supplementary Pensions (WAP). The calculation of the minimum return on supplementary pensions for 2025 took place on 1 June, and showed that the minimum guaranteed return should rise from 1.75% to 2.50%.

Minimum return from 1 January 2025

The new minimum return was recently also announced on the FSMA’s website. With effect from 1 January 2025, the minimum return on supplementary pensions will therefore officially be 2.50%.

Unified status for supplementary pension plans from 2030: get your organisation ready

EIP & PLCI

07.12.2024

As announced, the unified status for supplementary pensions will enter into force from 1 January 2030. The change is being made because treating blue-collar and white-collar workers differently in this area is considered discriminatory. Between 2015 and 2030, organisations must gradually eliminate the differences between the two employee categories in relation to supplementary pensions. How do you go about this as an employer?
