Atilla Benli explores how the Individual Pension System transforms saving habits and boosts long-term financial security.
Zurich Life and Pension General Manager Atilla Benli emphasized that perceiving the Individual Pension System (BES) merely as a pension plan presents an incomplete view. Benli explained that BES plays a conscious role in linking people’s current spending preferences with the quality of life they desire in the future.
He underlined that BES has reshaped the understanding of saving, replacing the old approach of saving “whatever remains” with a proactive mindset that asks, “What am I allocating for my future?” In this sense, Benli noted, BES transforms saving from an obligation into a steady, long-lasting habit.
Benli also underlined the key influence of government incentives and long-term saving discipline, noting that over the years, BES has encouraged a significant change in financial attitudes by motivating individuals to invest in their own future. He concluded that this quiet yet powerful transformation not only improves individual welfare but also strengthens the overall national savings rate.
