Abstract: This study analyzes the effects of leading economic indicators on the contributor number to the private pension system (BES) based on count model approaches. A positive correlation is found between the number of contributors and all living index variables. A positive effect of expenses on the contributor numbers is observed, while considering saving, the number of participants is reduced. For nondurable goods and services, spending has a large impact on the number of participants. There is a significant relationship between the number of BES contributors and inflation. In BES participation related forward-looking projections, the State contribution and the impact of awareness in the society about BES should be included into the analysis.
