ABI comment on flat rate pensions
In response to the expected announcement by government today on the creation of a flat-rate state pension, Otto Thoresen, the ABI’s Director General, said:
“The proposals to create a flat-rate pension are an important move towards a simpler and more understandable pension system. It will help people plan better for their retirement, stop people falling into the means-testing trap and ensure that it always pays to save. We look forward to working with the Government and other stakeholders to make these proposals work.”
