中国经济要闻
China will soon enter a new era of "private pensions”, which is set to complement the nation's current pension system in its latest effort to tackle the strains of an ageing population.
The new mechanism allows Chinese citizens to contribute up to 12,000 yuan (about $1,872) annually to individual pension accounts, according to guidelines published by the State Council on Thursday.
To encourage participation, the government will probably offer tax breaks, the guidelines mentioned. Pilot tests will run in some cities for one year before being implemented nationwide.
So how exactly does the private pension system work for everyone?
According to the document, those who contribute to the basic pension insurance for workers in cities and towns, as well as in the life insurance system for urban and rural residents, can participate in the private pension system.
They can open their own private pension account and deposit money as they wish. The accounts can be opened at qualified commercial banks or through other designated financial institutions. The accounts have closed-end management and participants cannot draw the money in advance unless under exemptions specified in the regulations.
The funds in the accounts can be used to purchase financial products that have a safe operation and tilt toward long-term value preservation, like banking wealth management products, deposits and public funds, among others.
Ofter dubbed “the third pillar” of the pension system, the long-awaited private pensions will be an important transformation of the current pension system that has a basic pension insurance and a corporate pension.
Banks have been preparing for the new policies to be implemented, vying for a huge but competitive market that worths some trillion yuan in precipitation funds every year.
期待已久的养老保险”第三支柱“方案明确：个人养老金账户来了，商业银行业务迎来新蓝海。
4月21日，国务院办公厅发布《关于推动个人养老金发展的意见》（下称《意见》），提出推动发展适合中国国情、政府政策支持、个人自愿参加、市场化运营的个人养老金。
《意见》明确，个人养老金实行个人账户制度，缴费完全由参加人个人承担，实行完全积累；个人养老金账户是参加个人养老金制度、享受税收优惠政策的基础；参加人应当指定或者开立一个本人唯一的个人养老金资金账户，用于个人养老金缴费、归集收益、支付和缴纳个人所得税等。
《意见》明确，可以开立个人养老金资金账户的个人包括在中国境内参加城镇职工基本养老保险或者城乡居民基本养老保险的劳动者，且目前参加人每年缴纳个人养老金的上限为12000元。
可购买的产品方面，《意见》明确，个人养老金资金账户资金用于购买符合规定的银行理财、储蓄存款、商业养老保险、公募基金等运作安全、成熟稳定、标的规范、侧重长期保值的满足不同投资者偏好的金融产品，参加人可自主选择。其中，银行理财、商业养老保险、公募基金已经有对应的相关养老产品。
对于上述新政策，不少商业银行已经提前进行布局。据悉，政策落地后，客户可通过手机银行、柜面等渠道开立个人养老金资金账户，持续转入个人税前收入的一部分，即可自主投资税收递延养老金融产品，获取持续收益，达到退休年龄后就可以从账户一次性或分次领取个人养老金。
“账户具有唯一性，而且未来每年将有至少数万亿的沉淀资金。可以预见，不久的将来，各大商业银行必将在这一蓝海领域展开激烈乃至于残酷的竞争，并将有利于那些财富管理领先的金融机构或代销机构再次强化对客户中长期财富的管理身份。”资深金融监管政策专家周毅钦表示。
推动个人养老金制度建设一直是业界热议的话题。通常来说，基本养老保险被称为养老保险体系的“第一支柱”，而企业年金或职业年金则是“第二支柱”，此次提及的个人养老金制度就是养老保险体系的“第三支柱”。
不过，《意见》明确，该政策选择部分城市先试行1年，再逐步推开，这意味着哪些城市将纳入试点并明确购买人范围等细则也值得关注。
