ICPM Chilean Working Group

The Chilean Working Group travelled to Santiago in late August for a three-day fact-finding tour. The group conducted a full review of the Chilean pension system in an effort to better understand the current system and the essence of the proposed reform. Meetings were held with key stakeholders, including government/regulators, political analysts, unions and academia.

An update will be shared at the Chile 2018 Discussion Forum in October.
