Retirement: financing retirement plans

Article Abstract:

Laws governing financing retirement plans in Belgium were virtually non-existent until 1985. Most plans consisted of a defined, final average pay benefit and the only legislated plan was that of retirement insurance. The Insurance Control Law of 1975, which gave way to the two Royal Decrees of 1985 were the first attempts at pension fund regulation. The conflict arose from the choice between insurance and self-administered funds as the better financing vehicle. There seems to be a real trend towards innovation, spurred on by several events, particularly that of the Barber case.
