KiwiSaver at 2050 - Strategies to Remain Robust and Beneficial for Future Generations

As we look toward 2050, the KiwiSaver landscape is poised for significant transformation. This session will explore the strategies necessary to ensure KiwiSaver remains robust, inclusive, and beneficial for future generations. We will examine KiwiSaver through various lenses, including policy and regulation, demographic shifts, ethnicity trends, and the growing financial literacy and technological engagement of future generations. With New Zealand's population becoming increasingly diverse, it is essential that KiwiSaver adapts to meet the unique needs of various communities, including Māori, Pacific Peoples, and immigrant populations. 

We will also consider how these factors will influence the development of future products and services that are equitable and accessible. Beyond necessary policy and regulatory settings, what will fund managers, employers, and other key stakeholders need to navigate to meet the evolving requirements for retirement savings? How can they work together to ensure a dignified retirement for all New Zealanders, regardless of background or ethnicity? This session promises to provide valuable insights and actionable strategies for KiwiSaver stakeholders at all levels.
