DB pension transfer redress: FCA statement on RPI changes
The FCA has published a statement about its intention to amend, in mid-March 2021, its finalised guidance (FG17/9) for firms on how to calculate redress for unsuitable defined benefit (DB) pension transfers. It is making the amendments to reflect changes to the way that the Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation measure is calculated, which the government announced in its November 2020 Spending Review. These changes are due to take effect from February 2030.
The FCA explains that the finalised guidance refers to both the RPI and the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), an alternative inflation measure. The RPI change means that, from February 2030, the -1% adjustment to the RPI assumption used in the guidance to calculate the CPI assumption will not reflect the assumed difference between the RPI and the CPI. It will be too large, and some consumers may not receive the correct amount of redress. This will affect consumers who transfer
United Kingdom: HM Treasury consults on regulatory approach to cryptoassets and stablecoins
On 7 January 2021 HM Treasury (HMT) published a combined consultation paper and call for evidence on the regulatory approach to cryptoassets and stablecoins.
In outline, the consultation proposes:
A policy approach that would involve specific requirements being implemented by independent regulators (e.g. via rules or codes of practice) within a wider framework of objectives and considerations set out by HMT.
Expansion of the regulatory perimeter, with the introduction of a regulatory framework for “stable tokens” (i.e. tokens which maintain a stable value by referencing asset(s)), drawing on existing e-money and payments legislation. The FCA would authorise and supervise relevant entities carrying out certain activities in the UK. A stable token arrangement could also be subject to Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) and Bank of England regulation under certain circumstances.
