There is a new Pension Schemes Bill in the UK. According to the Government, the changes will secure ‘better value for savers’ pensions’ and drive ‘long-term investment in British businesses to boost economic growth’. The Bill’s provisions are likely to take several years to implement, with some changes not expected to be in force until 2030.
Interestingly, the UK is not alone when it comes to pension reforms, with several other countries having recently introduced changes effective from the start of 2026 or that are slated to come into effect soon.
