Super system quality stagnates
Financial Standard
|October 20, 2025
The quality of Australia's retirement system continues to stagnate at the B+ level based on the annual Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index (MCGPI) over the last four years.
The retirement system has not improved since 2021 when it moved from a B grade in 2020 to B+.
This year, Australia's index value rose from 76.7 to 77.6, notably due to an increase in the mandatory contributions set aside for future retirement benefits, as well as the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) positive economic growth data.
Chile, Sweden, Finland and Norway also received a B+ rating, which determines that a retirement system is structurally sound with many good features, but has some areas for improvement that differentiate it from an A-grade system.
