Why is a new pension system being introduced?

The government has agreed on new rules for pensions. They have done this in response to the significant changes in our society in recent years. Also, most pensions have barely increased for years, if at all. The new pension rules allow pension funds to use the results of their investments more quickly to increase pensions.

Many parties are looking at the new pension scheme

Various parties are looking at the new pension scheme to ensure that the interests of different groups are well represented. Unions are there for all members, whether they are accruing, have accrued or are already receiving a pension. This also applies to the board of the fund, which includes representatives of both the employer, employees and pensioners.

Within the pension fund, the Accountability Body reviews policy and balance, while the Supervisory Board oversees, among other things, the management of risks and the board's balance considerations. The pensioners' association also plays a role, having given input on a draft version of the transition plan. In short, the new pension scheme is being looked at from various angles both during its preparation and introduction.
