Draft texts for the Wet Toekomst Pensioenen (Dutch Future of Pensions Act) often mention maintaining purchasing power but devote limited attention to the risk of inflation. This is hardly surprising because, since the late 1990s, inflation has been very moderate without large persistent shocks. However, for the future inflation risk remains an important risk factor. We investigated various options for hedging against inflation and unexpected inflation shocks in the New Pension Contract. And we assessed the impact of these measures on pension outcomes.
