Hong Kong Pension Ranking Improves but Still Trails Singapore in 2025 Index

Hong Kong pension ranking rose to 15th globally in the Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index 2025 but remained behind Singapore, which became the first Asian nation to achieve an “A” grade, ranking fourth worldwide. The index evaluated 52 systems for adequacy, sustainability, and integrity. Hong Kong scored well in integrity and adequacy but only “C+” in sustainability, while Singapore’s strong performance reflected long-term reforms and improved transparency. Mercer advised Hong Kong to encourage greater savings and higher participation among older workers to enhance sustainability. The Netherlands, Iceland, Denmark, and Israel also received “A” grades, while mainland China slipped to 38th with a “C.”
