The baby boomers are the primary driver of Britain\u2019s long-term fiscal crisis. According to the Office for Budget Responsibility\u2019s (OBR) most recent long-term projections, current policy settings, demographic pressures and rising age-related expenditure will push public debt above 270% of GDP by the mid-2070s.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>We need to alleviate the long-term pressure of the state pension system with a plan to switch to a fully funded system by the 2070s. Building this now would help reduce the pressure on gilts by providing some reassurance that the UK\u2019s fiscal risks are under control. This will require some reform to the triple lock \u2013 now that the gap between pension incomes and earnings has been largely closed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sir Nicholas Lyons, working with the Capital Markets Industry Taskforce, notes that continuously increased spending on the State Pension is a central mechanism of today\u2019s intergenerational imbalance. The triple lock is politically popular, but the OBR calculates that it adds around 1.6% of GDP to the state pension bill over the long term, accounting for roughly half of the total projected rise in pension spending.<\/p>\n<p>On current trajectories, that means protecting the incomes of older cohorts while the fiscal cost falls on the generation least equipped to bear it. Lyons\u2019s proposed direction \u2014 a gradual move from the triple lock\u2019s ratchet effect toward a more stable uprating mechanism, with the fiscal savings redirected into a sovereign wealth fund \u2014 offers a way to square this circle.<\/p>\n<p>The shift would require us, however, to invest the savings from more modest uprating into a national pension fund. A stylised model of those annual savings invested at a 6% return suggests such a fund could grow to roughly half of GDP by 2070, generating an annual return of around 3% to 3.5% of GDP. That would not replace the fiscal burden of the state pension, but it could make a major contribution to the wider pension bill while simultaneously rebuilding the UK\u2019s long-term productive capacity in infrastructure, the energy transition and innovation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>* This is an extract from Liam Byrne\u2019s essay on addressing intergenerational inequity from \u2018Liberalism liberated\u2019, a collection of essays by the think tank Bright Blue.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A former Cabinet minister has become the most prominent serving Labour MP to publicly admit the state pension&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621215,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[84,4176,2053,118945,1447,4178,4174,4175,2221,8183,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-621214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-business","tag-finance","tag-labour-party","tag-liam-byrne","tag-pensioners","tag-pensions","tag-personal-finance","tag-personalfinance","tag-state-pension","tag-triple-lock","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
