Together with employers and trustees, the Pensions Regulator's response to COVID-19 continues to evolve, with various pieces of guidance being published over the last few weeks. Further detail has also recently been published by the UK Government on the pensions aspects of its emergency measures to support businesses and employees.

Whilst COVID-19 continues to dominate employers' and trustees' agendas, there have been a number of other significant recent developments, including the publication of a consultation on the UK Statistics Authority's proposal to address the shortcomings of the Retail Prices Index (RPI).

Against that background, the topics covered in this briefing will include:

• A COVID-19 update on the issues for trustees and employers in relation to their pensions arrangements following our recent webinar (the recording can be accessed here); and
• A review of recent developments and current proposals in relation to RPI reforms.
