Greetings from Mercer!

 

This is festival time in India!!  Hope all of you had a great Deepavali with family and friends. 

 

Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted people on Diwali and wished that the festival brought them joy and well-being. 

 

Talking of well-being, the annual Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index (MCGPI) report that measures the efficacy of pension systems across 44 countries was released a couple of weeks back.  

 

The results from this year’s report show that India’s pension system is getting stronger. Given the demographic diversity and the large percentage of the workforce in the unorganized sector, reforms that are proposed to be undertaken in the pension system would take time to manifest.

 

Download the reports to learn more about your pension system along with more thought leadership and insightful collection from Mercer below.
