Pension Fund Balance Sheet Data

This file contains Balance Sheet data for Irish resident Pension Funds/Schemes The Bank’s pension fund statistics combine data on the different pension schemes in Ireland into one harmonised set of statistics. All pension funds captured under the European System of Accounts 2010 definition are included unless they are captured in other statistics, such as those for insurance corporations. In the Irish context, a pension fund is an autonomous occupational pension scheme established under trust. Trust RACs, individual occupational pension schemes and funded Section 52 schemes are captured under the definition of a pension fund. Government pay as you go schemes are not included in the data. The pension fund statistics present data on the assets and liabilities of pension funds. The liabilities mainly consist of the capital that pension funds hold to fulfil their future payment obligations towards members. The assets show the investments of the pension funds. They also show the claims that pension funds might have against other parties such as insurance corporations.
