Sir Kerr Starmer on Tuesday will cancel the insurance of some of the surplus of 160 billion pounds in the selected pension plans for companies, in an attempt to inject increasing money into the British economy and enhance growth.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom will inform an audience of executives in the city of London that the restrictions imposed on the use of retirement surplus will be reduced, a move praised by former conservative adviser Jeremy Hunt.

Starmer’s decision aims to pay investment by companies while also encouraging them to risk more risks in investment strategies in pension. “The changes today will open billions of dollars for investment,” Starmer said.

The government estimates that about 3750 specific pensions from companies in a surplus carry 160 billion pounds of assets that exceed the payments they owe to their members. Less than 70 billion pounds is qualified to return it to companies under the current rules. Total assets in the system is 1.2 Treenion pounds.

After several weeks, Chancellor Rachel Reeves released a series of growth advertisements, on Tuesday’s Starmer’s step will be an answer to critics that he had occupied a back seat on the economy.

“Achieving the change that our country needs requires nothing less than the restoration of our economy,” Starmer will tell the heads of Lloyds, at the country and Tesco, along with other executives. “It needs creative reform, removing the irreversible obstacles and concentration.”

Retired pension reforms follow criticism from some business leaders that Starmer and Reeves have undermined growth through the high budget tax worth 40 billion pounds, and the amount of a forest of new recruitment laws and dark rhetoric.

Hunt offered the retirement pension reforms specified in the speech of the palace for the year 2023, but it ran out of time to deliver it before last year’s elections, which led to the connection of Starmer and Labor to power.

“I may have my political differences with Rachel Reeves in the high business tax, but I am very welcome the momentum that I put behind the reforms of the palace’s house,” Hunt told the Financial Times.

Under the plans of the Labor Party, the DB plans can change its rules to allow the compatibility of the excess extraction as the employer and the secretaries of the pension scheme agree. The plans require legislation.

At the present time, the DB Plan’s surplus can only be reached as the plans approved a decision by 2016 to retain power, under the 2004 law approved by the last government of the Labor Party. Some plans had a big deficit and did not pass these decisions.

O surpluses can only be reached if the customers needed to sell its plan for the insurance company. The UK Retirement Protection Fund estimates that 68 billion pounds out of the current total surplus is 160 billion pounds out of the current surplus.

About 180 million pounds from the surplus by companies between 2018 to 2023, according to government estimates last year. Corporate taxes are 25 percent on the surpluses they receive.

The levels of the financing of the pension plan have improved significantly in recent years because the higher government bond returns have increased the expected revenues on assets, thus reducing the current accounting value of future opponents.

Retired pensioners welcomed the announcement of the government, provided that the results of the members are protected.

“All the trustees who really care about the members of the planners, but as a general topic, we will be supportive of launching the surpluses in the appropriate circumstances,” said Vasus Faso, a member of the professional pensions board of Trustees.

He pointed out that in recent years, companies that have great surpluses in pension plans have chosen their sale to insurance companies in loose annual transactions called acquisitions. About 50 billion pounds of pensions have been sold every two years of the past two years, according to WTW consultations.

Some advisers are skeptical that many companies will benefit from work reforms. “I don’t think there will be a lot of people who want to do this – they either want to make a purchase or put more money in the scheme so that they can.” He pointed out that the tax of 25 percent is imposed on the cash extracted from the surplus pensions.

On Monday, Reeves urged the representatives of the Labor Party to obtain a growth strategy, with some of the callers tense that the party is harmful to its environmental adoption data and it seems that it is heading to work on consumer interests.

“If we get this true – and I know that we will do – the prize offered is enormous,” she told the Parliamentary Labor Party. Reeves, who criticized the works for his appearance to speak with the economy, urged the representatives of the Labor Party to be positive. “Now is an opportunity for us to scream about these capabilities and the brighter future,” she said.

She added: “During the past six months as a consultant, my experience is that the government has become accustomed to saying” no. “It must change. We must start saying” yes. “
