PME funding ratio increased
Our funding ratio increased in the third quarter of 2023. Rising interest rates more than made up for the loss on investments. The funding ratio indicates whether we have enough funds to pay all pensions. Now and in the future.
Webinar: will pensions be increased again?
Early this year, your pension at PME was increased by 6.2%. Will we be able to increase pensions again in January next year? We will know by the end of November. What we do already know is that we will organise a webinar about this subject on Thursday, 7 December. In this webinar, we will also look ahead at PME's switch to the new pension rules. You will receive an invitation from us in November. This live webinar is in Dutch. A recorded video with English subtitles will be made available on our website.
