Report Rürup II

32 Gesamtverband der Deutschen Versicherungswirtschaft e.V. 32 Starting situation of the Rürup II Committee: Without a new reform of statutory pension insurance the following developments are likely: Contribution rate will rise from 19.5% to 24.2% by 2030. Gross pension level will decline from 48.2% to 41.9%. Slow development of old-age provision operated on a funded basis. Conclusion:Despite the so-called great reform in 2001 state old-age provision operated on a pay-as-you-go basis is not ensured on a sustainable basis. Implications of Rürup II for PAYG Pensions

33 Gesamtverband der Deutschen Versicherungswirtschaft e.V. 33 Dismissed proposals: extension of contribution ceiling and of the category of persons liable to insurance Positive proposals on statutory pension insurance: raise retirement age from 65 to 67 beginning in 2011 modification of pension adjustment formula Positive proposals on private pension insurance Simplification of the Riester-Incentives Proposals of Rürup II
