Pension Reforms - Basic ConceptArticle 38(c) of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic

of Pakistan stipulates that -

the State shall provide for all persons employed in the service of Pakistan or otherwise, social security by compulsory social insurance or other means.

3. ISSUES: (1) Pakistan’s present pension scheme is a Defined Benefit in nature. Pension is determined as a percentage of final salary and length of service. There are no contributions to the scheme and is maintained on an unfunded basis. There is a need to establish a separate National Pension Fund to provide for regulatory frame work.

(2) The objective of the scheme is to (i) attract workers to service by offering a reasonable compensation package after retirement and (ii) to assure that on retirement they will not experience any drastic reduction in their monthly income. There is now a strong need for contributions from the Government servants towards their pension.

Page 11: Pension of government servants with focus on Incentives …siteresources.worldbank.org/.../Pensionofgovernmentservants.pdf · PENSION OF GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WITH FOCUS ON INCENTIVES

11

(3) The cost of pension has increased sharply from Rs.14.6 billion in 1993-94 to about Rs. 40 billion in year 2002-03, as more and more workers are retiring and the number of pensioners is rising. Pension spending now consumes more than one tenth of the tax revenues.

4. Commutation Issues:

More than 40% of pension expenditure each fiscal year is spent on commutation, which only benefit the new retirees (about 6% of total pensioners).

Commutation factors are not based on fair assumptions, and ignore, for instance, the time value of money. Further the factors benefit early ages, which are much higher than the fair values; however, at ages close to retirement age or at 60 years, the factors are lower than the fair values.

Higher commutation percentage means lower pension in future, which is not in line with the original objective of preserving the standard of living.

5. Recommendations: (1) The Pay & Pension committee of 2001 took notice of the issues, and recommended a number of changes to pension scheme.

(2) The Actuarial Office took up the challenge of estimating the existing liability on account of pension scheme and proposing different options to reform the pension scheme.

Recommended for new entrants a new (Defined Contributions) DC system. Since then the government has been taking different actions and initiatives to consider and evaluate different proposals for reforms. In 2001, Cabinet decided that a Contributory Pension Scheme be introduced for employees entering the service after a set date.

Page 16: Pension of government servants with focus on Incentives …siteresources.worldbank.org/.../Pensionofgovernmentservants.pdf · PENSION OF GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WITH FOCUS ON INCENTIVES

16

(3) In 2004, government created a special Pension Reform Working Group (PRWG) to evaluate the different proposals. PRWG submitted report to the Pay & Pension committee in March 2005.

(4) On the basis of recommendations of the PRWG, studies of the Actuarial Office and the deliberations of the Pay & Pension committee of 2004, the government has now been contemplating to introduce a Defined Benefits (DB) scheme, applicable only to workers joining the service after 30th June, 2007.

(5) For the existing employees, parametric reforms were proposed keeping the affordability and other factors in view.

(6) Implementation of parametric reforms may be relatively simple, with a very little Actuarial input like the Actuarially fair commutation tables, fair early retirement penalties etc. However, for the implementation of Contributory Pension Fund scheme (systemic reforms), significant work needs to be done like basic infrastructure including record keeping, capacity building

in government and the following arrangements:-

i) Institutional arrangements, preparation of legal framework and Rules & Regulations for Contributory Fund Management and record keeping.

ii) Contribution level for employees and employer.

iii) The investment strategy for managing the Fund.

iv) Preparation of parameters with different options.

v) Circulation of scheme with different options among stakeholders and other experts for comments and preparation of draft of final scheme.

(7) The Pay & Pension Committee reviewed the existing pension system keeping in view the recommendations of Actuarial Office and working group on pension reforms.

The sub-committee have Recommended following reforms in the existing pension system with the premise that existing pay scales are increased by 40% (The GOP, however, increased the basic pay scales by 15% and also allowed 15% Special Relief Allowance given from 01-07-2003 and 15% ad-hoc relief given from 01-07-2004 to continue to be drawn at frozen level as on 30-06-2005):-

Actuarial Office has just become functional now; that office will consider this.

New Employees

New employees will be covered under a new Defined Contributory Benefit Scheme w.e.f. 01-07-2006. For the new scheme a study will be undertaken by the Actuarial Office to make recommendation about (i) institutional arrangements for legal oversight for Pension Fund Management and for record keeping, (ii) contribution levels for employees and employer and (iii) the investment strategy for managing the Pension Fund.

Page 27: Pension of government servants with focus on Incentives …siteresources.worldbank.org/.../Pensionofgovernmentservants.pdf · PENSION OF GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WITH FOCUS ON INCENTIVES

27

What then must we do now? - Main Issues and the decisions required to be taken thereon.

In order to ensure equity and justice, the benefits admissible under the Defined Contributions Scheme must be comparable to the present pension scheme of the Government. The Actuarial Office has estimated that if a contribution equal to 25% of the pay is made and invested and which yields a real interest rate of 3% then the accumulation at the end of service would be enough to generate annuities that would be comparable to 70% of the pensionable pay i.e. it would be just equal to the benefit admissible under the current scheme.

What would be the salient features of the Defined Contributions Scheme for the employees joining service on or after 1st July, 2007 – (i.e. the Systemic Reforms)?

2.

The post has been filled in now.A new Actuary is required to be recruited to complete the unfinished work of the Actuarial Office.

Comments of the Regulations WingIssues

Page 28: Pension of government servants with focus on Incentives …siteresources.worldbank.org/.../Pensionofgovernmentservants.pdf · PENSION OF GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WITH FOCUS ON INCENTIVES

28

Principle of justice and equity demands that the pay of the new employees be increased to cover the cost of employee contribution. With the introduction of the Contributory Pension Scheme, the government may consider either abolishing the General Provident Fund scheme or may consider removing the condition of mandatory contribution in the General Provident Fund Scheme.

Should the government increase the pay of the new employees to cover the cost of contribution and whether simultaneously it would be mandatory to retain the GP Fund Scheme?

4.

Normally the sharing of the contribution should be on 50:50 basis. GOP’s contribution can be on notional or actual transfer basis. In order to reduce future liability, GOP’s contribution should be on actual transfer basis.

Who would contribute and at what rate? Whether the government or the employee or the both.

3.

Page 29: Pension of government servants with focus on Incentives …siteresources.worldbank.org/.../Pensionofgovernmentservants.pdf · PENSION OF GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WITH FOCUS ON INCENTIVES

29

The government may not offer the guarantees but may put in place a transparent arrangement of (i) reporting regular investment (ii) portfolio performance updates (iii) choice of portfolios with low risk low return and higher risk higher return (iv) option to choose asset manager and (v) employee represen-tation on the Board of Directors. Alternatively the GOP may consider assuring the all concerned that there would be a 3% real return on investment, but if the fund does better than the ceiling, the government would keep the difference or the government may guarantee a low floor - that the return will not go below say 2.5%, but if the fund does better, the account holder would keep the difference.

Would the government provide guarantees against the invested funds?

6.

Normally the Defined Contribution Schemes do not guarantee any assured returns and the pensioners may get a low return or even suffer a loss but if the funds are well invested, the benefits can increase manifold.

Would the scheme offer assured or variable returns? Would the pensioners face the risk of getting a low return or suffering a loss?

5.

Page 30: Pension of government servants with focus on Incentives …siteresources.worldbank.org/.../Pensionofgovernmentservants.pdf · PENSION OF GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WITH FOCUS ON INCENTIVES

30

Normally, there should be no objection to it but these features may be fine tuned around the basic model that will emerge from the above decisions.

Would the pension be portable – can the employee take the scheme elsewhere if he leaves the federal government employment earlier?

8.

A Pension Authority may be established with a clear mandate to oversee either the only government pension scheme or the entire pension sector. If this is not considered feasible a lean organization that relies on AGPR for contribution record, and asset management entities may be established which may cover only the pension of the Federal Government employees.

What type of governance arrangement would be put in place for the investment of all contributions into individualpension accounts?

7.

Page 31: Pension of government servants with focus on Incentives …siteresources.worldbank.org/.../Pensionofgovernmentservants.pdf · PENSION OF GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WITH FOCUS ON INCENTIVES

31

The government may only ensure that the pension accumulation is used to purchase an annuity and for this purpose may strengthen the insurance and annuity sector and the SECP may draw up a long to medium term plan in consultation with the Ministry of Finance. Once this is done, the government should have no further liability.

Would the above guarantees /arrangements of the government make the scheme successful.

COMPRESSION RATIO

Article 38(e) of the Constitution mandates the state to reduce the disparity in the income level. In respect of Government servants, the above ratio has gradually been reduced to the present 1:10 through pay revisions in 1977, 1983, 1987, 1991, 2001.
