The state pension age (SPA) is currently set at age 66 and is set to increase to 67 by 2028 and 68 by 2046. It is required by law to be regularly reviewed by the Government. Following the first review in 2017, the second review in December 2021 considered whether the increase in SPA to 68 should be brought forward to 2037-39. The government was required to publish this review by May 2023, and it was in fact published on March 30, 2023. The review confirms the plan to increase SPA to 67 by 2028, but that there will be no acceleration in the timeline for the increase in SPA to 68. Therefore, the backstop date of 2046 will remain in place.
A further review will be carried out within two years of the next Parliament and is expected to include updated life expectancy and population projections, such as census data and demographic trends.

The private credit market and direct lending have grown and diversified immensely in the past decade, offering alternative sources and terms of debt compared to those historically provided by the syndicated leveraged loan and public issuance markets. Consequently, they are fast becoming pivotal components in the capital ecosystem, so much so that the Bank of England consider that the private credit market is currently responsible for approximately $1.8 trillion of debt issuance, which is four times its size in 2015. This growth has been particularly pronounced in Europe and the US but there has also been significant activity in Asia.

The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation, commonly referred to as the AI Act, is expected to come into force during the summer of 2024 (the AI Act). The AI Act will be the first comprehensive legal framework for the use and development of artificial intelligence (AI), and is intended to ensure that AI systems developed and used in the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly.
