OPINION: Macron has slammed France into reverse gear with pension surrender

Emmanuel Macron has performed a humiliating U-turn and agreed to suspend his pension reform in order to avoid another collapsed government - his surrender will ultimately harm France, says John Lichfield. A French economist won a share of the Nobel Prize this week for his work on creative destruction. The country has chosen another path - destructive immobilism. In 2023 Macron won a pensions victory on behalf of the French people but against the will of the French people.

French prime minister backs suspending unpopular pension reform law

Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu faces two no-confidence motions this week as France's political crisis deepens. France's embattled prime minister says he backs suspending a pension reform until after the 2027 presidential election in a bid to end the political turmoil that has gripped the country for months. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, 39, announced on Tuesday that he supports pausing an unpopular reform that raised the age of retirement from 62 to 64 in the hopes of securing enough votes to survive two no-confidence votes.

Reeves's 50bn problem solved: stop giving it away in pension tax relief | Phillip Inman

At the moment the chancellor gives away more than 50bn in tax relief for pension saving, most of which goes to wealthier boomers and better-paid gen Xers who do not need the money and would save anyway if state support was more limited. A remodelling of pension subsidies cutting the 40p higher rate to a flat rate of 25p for all savers could claw back 10bn to 20bn in extra income tax and national insurance payments, depending on how the new regime is constructed.
