Britain to launch inflation linked savings plans for pensioners
Britain moves to shield pensioners and savers from inflation by introducing two index linked savings plans. One offers five year sterling bonds adjusted yearly to the retail price index for older pensioners, the other allows payroll deductions up to 50 dollars monthly for five years. Both plans are tax exempt and offer a potential 16 percent yield to keep pace with price rises, with incentives to hold to maturity.
