US Drops to 24th in Global Retirement Index; Inflation Cited as Key Risk
What happened
Natixis Investment Managers released the 2026 Global Retirement Index (GRI), placing the United States at 24th globally. This marks a decline from 21st in 2025 and a fall from 14th in 2016. The researchers attribute the decline to worsening scores across three of the four sub-indices, particularly the Finances in Retirement category, which fell eight places to 18th.

Why it matters
The index decline reflects systemic pressure on retirement models built for different economic conditions. Investor sentiment gathered during the Natixis 2025 Global Survey showed that 76% of American investors believe mounting public debt will reduce their retirement benefits, while 41% cited inflation as a major risk.
