Pensions And Long-Term Retirement Saving: A Macroeconomic Perspective - Speech By Andrew Bailey, Chief Executive At The UK Financial Conduct Authority, Delivered At The 24th Pensions And Savings Symposium

Date 16/09/2016

Key points:

• Looking at the issues on the FCA agenda, pensions and long-term retirement savings are probably top of the list in terms of their importance to our society.
• The lifetime model is a core building block of macroeconomics, and it remains an essential lens through which to assess today’s challenges around retirement income and pensions.
• If there are two big investments in the life cycle model – a home and a pension – the cost of both in real terms has risen.
• There is an argument that pension saving would be assisted by people holding more housing in their stock of pension assets, based on the real appreciation in the value of housing. I don’t subscribe to this argument.

Date 16/09/2016

The downward trend of wholesale energy prices continued in most of the EU in 2015, according to the latestACER/CEER Market Monitoring Report1, whose wholesale volumes were published today. The results will be discussed with stakeholders in a workshop next week in Ljubljana2. Gas prices decreased across Europe as a result of declining oil prices, a greater availability of gas and increased gas-to-gas competition. For the first time since 2008 average electricity prices increased in a few countries in 2015; however overall prices remained far below 2008 levels. In some countries this can be explained by a high share of renewable energy and overcapacity in generation.
