Zombie multilateralism

It’s certainly hard to imagine relevant agreements being reached that could, in the foreseeable future, bring substantive progress in international relations. Alliances of like-minded states could conceivably coalesce around individual issues, but these mechanisms need to become significantly more professional if they are to operate effectively at the margins of international politics (‘pockets of effectiveness’). Europe and other proponents of multilateral cooperation need to urgently ask themselves what the essence of a new multilateralism might be. The ongoing UN80 reform process focuses on efficiency enhancements and institutional reforms. These are certainly necessary, but if reforms are not guided by a clear normative compass, there is a risk that the political substance of international cooperation could be further diluted.

Peter Haan: „Altersvorsorgedepot: Richtige Schritte, aber das größte Problem bleibt“

Bei der sogenannten Riester-Reform, über die am morgigen Freitag im Bundestag beraten wird, hat die SPD die Einführung eines staatlich organisierten Standardfonds für die private Altersvorsorge durchgesetzt. Peter Haan, Leiter der Abteilung Staat im Deutschen Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW Berlin), kommentiert diesen Vorschlag wie folgt: 

Viele Elemente des vorgeschlagenen Altersvorsorgedepots haben das Potenzial, die Verbreitung der privaten Altersvorsorge zu stärken. Positiv hervorzuheben ist die Einführung eines staatlichen Standarddepots – allerdings ist die Kostengrenze von einem Prozent immer noch ziemlich hoch. Auch der Wegfall der Beitragsgarantie ist grundsätzlich sinnvoll: Er ermöglicht renditestärkere Anlagestrategien und macht das Produkt langfristig attraktiver.

Allerdings löst diese Reform das wichtigste Problem nicht. Die Verbreitung der privaten Altersvorsorge ist heute sehr ungleich verteilt – und besonders gering bei Haushalten mit niedrigen Einkommen, also genau dort, wo das Risiko von Einschnitten im Lebensstandard im Alter und die Altersarmut am größten ist. Freiwillige Anreize haben daran seit zwei Jahrzehnten nichts geändert. Wer diese Lücke schließen will, kommt an einer Verpflichtung nicht vorbei – ob über die betriebliche oder die private Säule, darüber lässt sich streiten. 

Hinzu kommt ein Verfahrensproblem. Die Bundesregierung hat eine Alterssicherungskommission eingesetzt, die bis Mitte 2026 klären soll, wie viel Altersvorsorge insgesamt notwendig ist und wie die drei Säulen zusammenwirken sollen. Ein Gesetz zur dritten Säule jetzt zu beschließen, setzt Fakten, bevor die Gesamtarchitektur steht. Das ist keine gute Grundlage für eine Reform, die Jahrzehnte wirken soll.
