Euractiv (25.09.2018) ERAFP is a pension fund which manages the additional retirement pension for civil servants. It is a mandatory pension scheme, which is capital-based and was established to benefit the 4.5 million civil servants, whether they are civilian or military officials, or employed by local government, hospitals or the judiciary. Having been established in 2005, the scheme allows civil servants to make contributions from all of their non-statutory income (any remuneration paid other than their index-related salary). These contributions are invested in assets (such as bonds, property or shares), which thereby cover the scheme’s commitments. Today, ERAFP manages over €30 billion. Having been set up 13 years ago, the scheme is only at the beginning of an increase in operations which will continue into the middle of the century. Understandably, its assets are growing: over the next ten years, the scheme’s cash-flow will enable it to invest €2.5 billion a year, on average.

History and economic theory and evidence suggest that in the long term, such fears are misplaced. However, in the short and medium term, dislocation can be severe for certain types of work, places, and populations.
