Bill on the future of pensions
The pension system in the Netherlands is facing a major overhaul. In 2019, a broad package of measures was agreed for a new pension system. They were formalised in the National Pension Agreement of June 2019.
The new system was fine-tuned in the 'Dutch Future of Pensions Act' (Wet toekomst pensioenen), which was presented to the Dutch House of Representatives for discussion on 30 March 2022. The new legislative act should enter into force on 1 January 2023.
