The Mass Verification Institute (IVM) of the Social Security Fund (CSS) of Panama has been subject to criticism after being labeled as a Ponzi scheme. This controversy has raised concerns among the population due to the importance of this institution in the country's social security system.
According to experts, the IVM has been compared to a Ponzi scheme due to its lack of transparency in the management of insured funds. This situation has led to questions about the financial sustainability of the program and the need to implement measures to ensure its long-term viability.
One of the main problems identified in the IVM is the lack of clear information on how the funds of the affiliates are invested. This has generated distrust among the insured and called into question the Institute's ability to meet its payment commitments in the future.
In light of this situation, authorities have expressed the need for a thorough review of the IVM's operations and to take necessary measures to ensure the safety and stability of the pensions of the insured. Amid this controversy, transparency and accountability have become fundamental aspects to restore trust in Panama's social security system.
In the words of an economics specialist: "The immense challenge we face today is how to get the foxes out of the henhouse." This metaphor refers to the need to ensure the integrity and proper use of IVM resources to protect the interests of the insured and ensure the long-term sustainability of the system.
