On 31 January 2025, the federal government concluded a coalition agreement. Below we set out the key measures* in the reforms that the government wants to implement in connection with the second pension pillar.
*The measures that the government wants to take still need to be converted into law before they enter into force. Little is currently known about the exact nature of this conversion and implementation. The measures may therefore still be subject to changes. We will monitor their ongoing implementation and provide information as soon as we know more.

The government wants to prioritise a mandatory supplementary pension for all employees, including contract workers in the public sector. The employer’s contribution to this supplementary pension must be at least 3% of the annual salary by 2035 at the latest.
Sectors where this 3% level is not yet being met will also have to make an extra effort in this respect by means of sectoral agreements.
