Other risks

The real economy is expected to show feeble development in the coming years. The recovery of Finland’s exports has been delayed, and we face considerable challenges in our business and trade structures and in our public finances.

The escalation of the Finnish structural challenges in the current economic situation increases the risk that the financing balance of the earnings-related pension system will weaken in the long term and medium term, especially if the pension reform of 2017 does not achieve the goals set for it.

In order to control the risks, Varma co-operates closely with its stakeholders and other players in the field and is developing its processes so that it can react to any changes in the earnings-related pension system on time.
