IMF Country Report-Spain: Selected Issues

October 6, 2017--THE SPANISH PENSION SYSTEM-CHALLENGES BEYOND FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY1
Spain adopted substantial pension reforms in 2011 and 2013 that safeguard financial stability of the contributory pension system over the long term. While the reforms would keep Spanish pension benefits relative to wages above the EU average, they imply a significant reduction in purchasing power.

This has stimulated public debate about the recent reforms and a parliamentary committee is now developing recommendations for new ones. This paper seeks to increase awareness of the considerations and trade-offs inherent in further pension reforms. It also proposes potential adjustments, broadly within the pension parameters agreed under the Toledo Pact, to facilitate the continued smooth transition to a sustainable and socially acceptable pension system.
