We recently updated the bridging plan and submitted it to the Dutch central bank (DNB) as our supervisory authority. The Bridging Plan for 2025 also shows that we could apply the more lenient rules in 2026 as well. Whether or not we do so in 2026 still needs to be decided: for the indexation at 1 April 2026, we will have to consider what a sensible rate of indexation is at that time.

In our annual report you can read all about the developments in the past year. You can read that we ended the year with a healthy financial situation, which allowed us to fully increase pensions in 2025.

The developments on the stock markets as a result of the import tariffs announced by the United States also affect the financial health of Philips Pensioenfonds. We have listed four questions and answers on this subject for you.

The process of deciding on the new pension plan recently took another step forward. During the first calendar quarter of this year, the Accountability Body issued a favourable opinion on the Board’s provisional resolutions for the new pension plan. This allowed the Board to confirm its resolutions in late-March, subject to two contingencies.

All pension accruals received an invitation from Philips Pensioenfonds asking them to cast their vote. Until 15 April elections will be held for a new member of Philips Pensioenfonds’s Accountability Body on behalf of the active members.

What is a sensible indexation rate for our pensions at 1 April 2025, to make sure that every one of our members can get off to a good start under the new pension plan that will come into effect in 2027? That is the question that the Board of Trustees recently answered. In 2025, we can grant our members’ pensions full indexation in accordance with our ambition. This indexation is made possible by more lenient legal rules for indexation.

In 2022, the Board considered what the the new pension system and current special circumstances, such as high inflation and the situation on the financial markets, mean for the increase in pensions in the coming years. The outcome is that from 2023 onwards, the Board will annually determine the maximum that is justified when it comes to increasing your pension.

At the end of 2021, our members were informed that the pension accrual would be reduced to 1.65% in 2022 and 2023. We are pleased to inform you that this decision has been revised for the year 2023 and that the accrual percentage for that year will be increased to the ambition level of 1.85%.
