A Solution for the Aged Turkish Social Security System: Private Pension Funds

Abstract

Turkish social security system with its mandatory, state-owned, and pay-as-you-go nature exerts an additional burden on the ailing Turkish economy. The current pension system generates a deficit about 4% of GNP. The Turkish Parliament approved a new private pension plan in April, 2001 allowing Turkish citizens to accumulate their pension benefits in private investment funds. Private pension funds in Turkey are expected not only help to establish a financially sound pension system and provide benefits for the Turkish workforce but also stimulate and deepen the capital markets, thereby lowering volatility in Turkish asset prices. This study aims to compare key parameters of major pension systems in both developed and developing countries and then provide forecasts about the future of the infant Turkish private pension system by overlooking the historical pension performances of Latin countries.
