International pensions require local solutions

Pension liabilities remain highly volatile across Europe, even allowing for the trends to reduce risk (at least for future accrual). Pension costs are even more volatile and large cash payments have repeatedly failed to prevent a fall in funding levels. The good news is that there are options available for companies that make a concerted effort to solve the problem, beyond just paying in more cash. Since a large part of pension liabilities come from foreign subsidiaries, it is essential that companies realize that real-world cross-border actions are needed to address and resolve their pension issues.
