Fribourg pensions
In the canton of Fribourg, retirement provision rests on the three Swiss pillars: AHV, the occupational pension fund and private savings. This page brings together this year’s federal parameters, the funds of reference, the tax on lump-sum withdrawals and our articles on pensions.
The area has no national border: the topics that matter are those of people living and working in Switzerland. Official sources publish in French and German; data, notices and articles are collected here and updated when they change.
