One way to keep track of the market is to read the OECD’s online newsletter, “Pension Markets in Focus”, whose fourth edition can now be downloaded at http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/46/57/ 39509002.pdf.

“Pension Markets in Focus” monitors the main trends and features of funded pension plan systems in a clear and concise format, with recent comparable data and analysis of the various types of funded pension arrangements. This edition features a short focus on sovereign and public pension reserve funds, which are becoming a key financing element of pension systems. Most of the tables and graphs, together with the underlying data, can be found in Excel spreadsheets on the website. Previous editions can be found at www.oecd.org/daf/pensions/pensionmarkets.

For further detail, readers can access frequently requested pension statistics from the Global Pension Statistics database, available under the item “Online statistics database” at www.oecd.org/daf/pensions/gps. See also www.oecd.org/daf/pensions

A number of other online newsletters are also available, including the International Transport Forum newsletter, at www.internationaltransportforum.org; the Investment newsletter, at www.oecd.org/daf/investment; plus two on development, DAC News at www.oecd.org/dac and the Financing Development newsletter, at www.oecd.org/dev/newsletters
