LIFE WITH THE ICELANDIC PENSOIN FUND SYSTEM - dir. GUNNAR SIGURDSSON

The Icelandic public is told over and over again that the Icelandic Pension Fund system is the best in the world, and without it Iceland would have been declared bankrupt back in 2008. Is it so?  Indexation was introduced by the Icelandic Pension Funds in the early ‘80’s, consequently leaving the public up to their neck in debt aftert the bank crisis in 2008 but the pension funds stronger than ever. Is that really best for us on the whole? Or in the long run? How is being old in Iceland today? What awaits us when we become old? Is there corruption in the Icelandic Pension fund system? Gunnar Sigurdsson  & Co (Maybe I Should Have) go around asking uncomfortable questions about Icelands most precious asset.
