- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2008 is a pivotal year for pensions in the UK; the number
of schemes seeking to buy-out will hit an all time high; another Pensions
Act will pass into law; government intervention and the threat from Europe
grows stronger; and scheme costs and regulatory pressure continue to increase.

Are we ready for 2012? And what will the Credit Crunch mean for pensions?
