Pensions, Debt, and Market Stability
This chapter examines the contentious potential changes to pension policies, specifically the ending of employer National Insurance relief for the private sector. It also discusses the recent debt rule changes aimed at freeing up funds for critical infrastructure projects and the market's mixed reactions to government budget decisions. The implications of rising 'secret taxes' on savings, particularly for younger citizens facing increased insurance costs, are also highlighted amid uncertain economic forecasts.
