Pensions - Articles - IFoA comments on Scottish Referendum


 The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) has played an active role in informing the Scottish Independence Referendum debate. Martin Potter, Leader of IFoA’s Scottish Board, comments on the resulting No vote:

 “Yesterday’s referendum was a momentous occasion in the history of Scotland and the UK. The Scottish electorate has spoken and, while independence was not the outcome, there is clearly an appetite for constitutional change. The IFoA looks forward to playing its part in informing that debate in areas where actuaries provide expertise such as insurance, pensions, and risk management, both in a regulatory capacity and the implications for the future growth of the financial services sector.

 “As a not-for-profit royal chartered professional body, the IFoA has a duty to serve the public interest. In this capacity we look forward to continuing to work with the governments in both Edinburgh and London.”
