During 2005-2010 he was in charge of the Financial Planning and Regulation area at CONSAR. In the last years he has participated actively in international working groups focused on investment rules, risk manage-ment and supervision of pension funds.

He heads the supervision of pension funds’ fulfi lment of the fi nancial regulation. He also leads the preparation of economic, fi nancial and actu-arial studies presented to CONSAR’s Board.

The fi rst project is the launch of a book compiling all the analytical work and empirical evidence produced and discussed at the OECD Working Party on Private Pensions (WPPP) over the last four years that underlie the recommendations contained in the OECD Roadmap for the Good Design of Retirement Saving Plans endorsed in June 2012 by pension regulators from OECD countries. The second project assesses how pension funds, annuity providers such as life insurance companies, and the regulatory framework incorporate future improvements in mortality and life expectancy. It also calculates the amount of longevity risk that pension funds, annuity providers and the regulatory framework may be exposed to. The project will provide recommendations on best practices on how to incorporate future improvement in mortality and life expectancy and address longevity risk. The third project evaluates the retirement saving adequacy of current and future pensioners by looking at all the sources to fi nance retirement as a whole.The fi nal project examines annuity products in OECD countries by focusing on the guarantees they provide, identifi es the exposures and costs of annuity products for insurers and consumers in light of their characteristics and guarantees, and comprehends better insurer risk management of annuity products and the regulatory framework governing annuity products given the guarantees provided. He has recently published with J. Yermo (OECD), R. Hinz and H. Rudolph (World Bank) a book on evaluating the fi nancial performance of pension funds. In the past, he has worked on the impact of ageing populations on the economy and on public fi nances. He has produced several studies examining options available to reform pension systems in several OECD countries, including public pensions. Previously, he worked at the IMF and at the OECD Economic Department. He has published journal articles on ageing issues as well as labour market issues. Mr. Antolín has a PhD in Economics from the University of Oxford and an undergraduate degree in Economics from the University of Alicante (Spain).

MARIAN SÂRBU

President of the Private Pension System Supervision Commission (PPSSC)

Since June 2012, after an unanimous opinion of the specialty commissions, Mr. Marian Sârbu, a well-known specialist in matters of social protection and social dialogue, former Minister of labour on two terms (2000-2003 and 2008-2009), MP (1996-2012), vice-President of the Chamber of Deputies’ Commission for Labour and Social Protection and vice-President of the Chamber of Deputies, has been appointed by the Parliament of Romania to lead the Private Pension System Supervisory Commission, institution he is still leading. With an impressive activity in reforming and regulating social issues in Romania over the last 20 years, Marian Sârbu has always been a promoter of wide-spanning and long-aiming strategies and actions meant to set base for a social system relying on balance, equity and tri-partite social dialogue. As a Minister of labour, social solidarity and family, Marian Sârbu initiated and got actively involved in the most ambitious social reforms project over the last two decades, aiming at: reforming industrial relations, achieved through the coming into force of the new Labour Code, implementation of a new Pensions Law (1 April 2001), ensuring a six-step pension re-correlation process as well as substantively modifying the social assistance resulting in the Minimum Income Guarantee Law. The whole set of pieces of legislation initiated by and implemented under Minister Marian Sârbu coordination, transposed his vision of a unitary and convergent social policy system, based on social dialogue and aiming at equity and social protection and led to taking over 1 million Romanians out of the poverty pouch, i.e. „my biggest achievement as a professional as well as from the viewpoint of my public activity”, as himself declared.

It is to note that during the same times of reforming and recalibrating the system, the fi rst legislative measures on the multi-pillar pension system were initiated, measures that led to the occurrence of the privately managed pension pillar which Mr. Sarbu coordinates and regulates today as a CSSPP President.
