The upcoming October conference will address the challenges that pension and social protection systems are facing in the 21st century, as well as the impact of demographic changes, new work patterns, and digitalization on these systems globally. To tackle these challenges, various retirement savings vehicles have been introduced by global economic institutions, actuarial firms, and insurers, which have been adopted by numerous countries. The efficiency of these vehicles in ensuring a comfortable retirement and identifying the most successful ones will be examined.

Furthermore, the conference will also focus on the readiness of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in terms of preparing individuals for retirement through both public-policy and private-sector solutions. The goal is to assess the current state of retirement planning in the MENA region and explore potential strategies to improve the future retirement prospects of individuals in the area.
