Iceland’s pension system has been ranked as the second most sustainable in the world according to the 2025 Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index. With a score of 84 out of 100, the nation trails only the Netherlands in the global rankings.
The system's financial stability is supported by a combination of tax-based funding, mandatory pension funds, and fiscal incentives designed to encourage personal savings. These mechanisms contribute to the high performance and long-term viability of the Icelandic model.
