Navigating Pension I: Guidelines for Adapting to New-Normal

The COVID-19 pandemic is by far the top headline for the turbulent 2020, as the public health crisis continues to disrupt the economy. Thailand’s 1Q2020 GDP contracted -1.8% YOY and may contract as much as -9.0% in 2020, with unemployment projected as high as 13% towards the end of Q2¹.

The effects of the “New Normal” environment – low inflation, ultra-low interest rates, sluggish demands and subdued economic growth – on how your business operates are inevitable and significant. Navigating this environment without a robust governance and accounting framework can lead to unexpected impact down the road.

Mercer is delighted to invite you to our Wealth webinar – Navigating Pension Series I: Guidelines for Adapting to the New-Normal. Our actuaries and investment strategist from Mercer will share with you the latest macroeconomic update due to COVID 19, the impact on pension liabilities, and recommended actions.

Key takeaways:

The pass-through impact of COVID-19 on key economic and managerial variables on pension liabilities
Practical pension accounting guidelines and action points for determining materiality from assumption changes and restructuring
The importance of governance around pension accounting, and what you should be doing right now

Our Wealth consultants are delighted to help you navigate through one of the most volatile periods in the history.
