I apologise, it was published in 2020. I always go back to see what was said 15 or 20 years ago because I am always told the short-term projections may not be as accurate but the long-term projections are always right. The 2020 report had not anticipated quite such a surplus in the Social Insurance Fund, but we have 2.7 million people working and we have never had so many in the workforce. That might explain why we are doing so well.
