The 2nd EIR/OECD Conference on Pensions and Long-run Investments was organised at the OECD Headquarters in Paris on 2 April 2004. Over 50 guests were present, including private sector, researchers and pension regulators. The event was opened by William Witherell, Director of DAFE, OECD. The focus of the event was on pension fund investment in both Defined Benefit (DB) and Defined Contribution (DC) systems. The first part of the meeting focused on DB plans. Asset-liability modelling models and the implications of ageing for defined benefit plans were discussed in detail. The second half of the meeting looked at the new DC plans in Ireland, the OECD on-going work on statistical data collection and regulatory policies for private pension systems.
