BT Pension Deficit swells to £6billion !
BT pension funds has continued to widen at an alarming rate !Liabilities at the £41bn BT Pension Scheme rose twice as fast as assets.
The deficit has swelled to £5.7bn ! Expert believe this looks at growing to £7b very soon or 30% of market cap !
“The increase in the deficit during the year principally reflects an exceptionally low real discount rate of 0.87%,” the report noted.
“This includes the impact of quantitative easing on the debt markets and a higher inflation assumption.”
