According to the Aon200 Index, pension deficits have increased to £100bn, and the knock-on effects of the austerity measures announced in the Budget are likely to add to the woes of companies sponsoring final salary schemes over the next few years. However, in the long-term those measures will eventually start to erode the final salary debts of companies if the economy improves. The aggregate pension fund deficit shown in company accounts for the 200 largest UK privately sponsored pension schemes increased from £88bn in May to £100bn at the end of June.
