August 1997 Argentina's experience with pension reform offers important lessons for Eastern Europe. A balanced reform is politically feasible, while prolonged delays in implementing pension reform can lead to the collapse of traditional, unfunded pension systems. Argentina reformed its pension system in 1994, when it created an integrated, multipillar public-private pension system. Its old system had suffered from a vicious circle of unrealistic promises, high payroll taxes, widespread evasion, and growing deficits. But the reform program, enacted through the democratic process, suffered from many weaknesses, the most important of which were the continuing wage indexation of pensions and the retention of a public, unfunded, defined benefit component in the second pillar. The Argentine authorities were forced to take corrective measures, first by abolishing indexation with the passage of the Pension Solidarity Law in March 1995 and then by integrating provincial pension schemes into the national system. Vittas argues that Argentina has undertaken not one but three major reforms of its pension system since 1993. One lesson of the Argentine experience is that pension reform is diluted as a result of democratic debate. This is less crucial than it appears, because reforming governments can rectify any major shortcomings through subsequent reforms. But it is important that the reform program be basically sound and that it move in the right direction. Vittas compares the new Argentine system with the systems of Chile and Switzerland. He finds that the main difference between the Argentine and Chilean systems lies in the higher levels of targeted pensions and targeted redistribution in Argentina. This is a political and social choice, but it implies a higher financial cost and thus higher contribution rates. The private component of the second pillar shares most of the strengths and weaknesses of the Chilean model, including high marketing and operating costs. The comparison with the Swiss system shows that Argentina's first pillar is less well designed than Switzerland's. But the funded component of its second pillar is more transparent and potentially more efficient than the Swiss funded pillar. Although it has much higher operating costs, it has achieved much higher investment returns. The relevance of the Argentine pension reform for Eastern Europe derives from the similarities in the problems of their public unfunded systems and the political and social acceptability of retaining a highly redistributive pillar. A balanced reform is politically feasible, while prolonged delays can lead to the collapse of the existing weak and unsustainable systems. This paper-a product of the Financial Sector Development Department-is a revised, expanded version of a paper presented at the conference Pension Privatization in Latin America: Lessons for Central and Eastern Europe, Airlie House, Virginia, April 27-29, 1995. It is part of a larger effort in the department to study private pension funds and contractual savings.

The shift toward social security systems with a tighter link between benefits and contributions will make such systems more fiscally sustainable. But to protect the uninsured and underinsured, such programs should be complemented by better social assistance programs for low-income groups.

The experience of privatization of social security has been predominantly in the Latin American region. Eight countries have undertaken either full or partial privatization of pensions: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay. What did the policymakers expect? Were expectations realized? Can we learn anything from the collective experience of these countries? Can they be applied to other countries that are aspiring to privatize? How did the World Bank and other international institutions affect these policies? Pension Reform in Latin America and Its Lessons for International Policymakers analyzes in detail these important questions. The book begins with a detailed account of economic conditions in Latin America. It then discusses various models that policymakers rely on. Starting with a purely demographic model, it lays out advanced models of overlapping generations of Samuelson. The book gives extensive details of privatized pensions in each of the eight reforming countries. Two chapters are devoted to analyzing the reform in each country. Finally, detailed lessons are drawn that will help shape the debate for policymakers in other countries.

The economies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are diverse in many ways, making it difficult to develop a common social protection strategy. Countries differ in size and per capita income. There are differences between urban/rural populations, agricultural/non-farm employment, and the structure of output between oil/non-oil economies. However, the countries of the MENA region share key socioeconomic characteristics and their social protection systems also confront similar design and implementation problems. This report provides a framework for an integrated approach to social protection. It also proposes general recommendations to guide the reform of social protection systems in the MENA region. The report is organized into four chapters which cover highlighting social risks and policy challenges; evaluating formal and informal social protection systems in the MENA region; strategic directions for enhancing these social protection systems; and the World Bank's contribution to social protection in the MENA region. The aim of this report is to contribute to a better-informed and more focused debate on social protection at the national, regional, and international levels.

This policy-oriented book identifies the issues countries should consider as they reevaluate their old income security policies and formulate new methods. The choice between the various models for providing old-age security has broad implications for the operation of labor and capital markets, the fiscal system, and the level, growth, and distribution of GNP. The author concludes that a mixed strategy is more effective than any single method of income security. This will be an important book for international economists and policymakers.

The integration of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States international financial system was arguably one of the most profound changes experienced by the world economy in the 1990s. This book examines these countries in reforming their financial systems in the first decade of transition. Through case studies as well as more thematic approaches contributors deal with crucial elements of building a market-based financial system, the transformation of the banking sector, and non-bank reform and regulation of financial markets. They emphasise the importance of institution-building to the process of financial sector transformation and highlight the lessons to be learned from transitional financial experiences.
