Spike in financial services business predicted
The director of an Island financial consultancy says he believes pensions will be a key theme in today's Manx budget (Tuesday).
The long-term funding of state and public sector pensions is providing government with long-term challenges.
But reform of the rules surrounding private pensions is also on the political agenda.
Alan Blythe of Douglas-based Blythe Financial says there are strong indications savers want more control over their private pension pots - and opinion is split over the impact this could have on tax-take.
Mr Blythe is predicting a spike in business for the Island's financial services sector, as more people become aware of changes that affect them:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
