Fiscal Impacts of Pension Systems and Their Reforms in the MENA Region
Overview & Synopsis
Pension spending in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is often one of the largest and increasing public expenditure items, averaging around 2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the early 2000s and currently about 4 percent of GDP. Morocco, Iran, Tunisia, Algeria, Malta, and Jordan already spend more than 5 percent of their GDP on pensions. Expenditures in the social protection (SP) sector in many countries in the region keep being dominated by social insurance and pensions. Basically, pension arrangements represent a growing financial burden on the financial resources of many countries in the region.
