Indexation
Each year, Staples Pension Fund tries to increase pensions (both pension entitlements and pension rights) by a maximum of the price development, as determined by the CBS. In doing so, we also take into account the fund's financial position.
Statistics Netherlands (CBS) shows that prices rose by 2.6% between October 2023 and October 2024. For our members, the derived consumer price index is the starting point for increasing pensions. To increase, the board has taken into account the legal rules and its own indexation policy. We can only fully index at a policy coverage ratio of 131.5%. At the end of November, the policy coverage ratio was 128.1%, which is not high enough to allow a full increase.
Together, these two components mean we can partially increase pensions by 2.23% as of 1 January 2025.
