Participation of under-18-year-olds in the Private Pension System in Turkey: A Growth Estimation

Hasan Meralİsmail Dilek

While the private pension system in Turkey reached 14.5 million participants and 433.4 billion TL ($26.2 bn) assets by the end of 2022, the ratio of assets to GDP is only around 3%. The main reasons for the low asset/GDP ratio are the limited contributions and the low average seniority of contract. In 2021, Turkey implemented a regulation that allowed the participation of under-18-year-olds in private pension plans. The main purpose of the regulation was to increase the coverage rate of the system and to get people to save for longer. Although the regulation enabled the number of participants to increase in the short term, its longterm effects on private pension assets are uncertain. The aim of the study is to measure the effect of the participation of under-18-year-olds onprivate pension assets in Turkey. The univariate time series method was used to predict the growth of the private pension system in Turkey for the next ten years. The prediction relied on the data of the private pension system’s asset size, annual net annual contribution, growth rate, and rate of return between 2003 and 2021 in Turkey. The results showed that by the end of 10 years, the assets of under-18-year-olds would account for 7% of the total private pension assets and that 22% of the annual contribution would be paid by under-18-year-olds.

Türkiye’de 18 Yaş Altındakilerin Bireysel Emeklilik Sistemine Katılımı: Bir Büyüme Tahmini

Hasan Meralİsmail Dilek

Türkiye’de bireysel emeklilik sistemi, 2022 yıl sonu itibariyle 14.5 milyon katılımcıya ve 433.4 milyar TL’lik (26.2 milyar dolar) fon büyüklüğüne ulaşırken, fon varlıklarının GSYH’ye oranı yalnızca %3 civarındadır. Varlık/GSYH oranının düşük olmasının ana nedenleri, katılımcıların ödedikleri katkı payının ve sistemde geçirdikleri sürenin düşük olmasıdır. Türkiye, 2021 yılında 18 yaş altındakilerin bireysel emeklilik planlarına katılımını sağlayan bir düzenlemeyi hayata geçirmiştir. Düzenlemenin temel amacı, sistemin kapsama oranını artırmak ve insanların daha uzun süre tasarruf etmesini sağlamaktır. Düzenleme kısa vadede katılımcı sayısının artmasını sağlamışsa da bireysel emeklilik fon varlıkları üzerindeki uzun vadeli etkileri belirsizdir. Çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de 18 yaş altındakilerin bireysel emeklilik sistemine katılımının fon varlıkları üzerindeki etkisini ölçmektir. Türkiye’de bireysel emeklilik sisteminin gelecek on yıldaki büyümesini tahmin etmek için tek değişkenli zaman serisi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Fon büyüklüğü tahmin edilirken, Türkiye’de bireysel emeklilik sisteminin 2003 – 2021 yılları arasındaki fon büyüklüğü, yıllık net katkı payı tutarı, büyüme hızı ve getiri oranı verilerinden yararlanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, önümüzdeki on yılın sonunda, 18 yaş altı katılımcıların varlıklarının toplam varlıkların %7’sini oluşturacağını ve yıllık net katkı payının %22’sinin 18 yaş altındakiler tarafından ödeneceğini göstermektedir.
