The Bank of England base rate remains at 0.5% and this has kept short term gilt yields low. At medium durations, the yield curve has decreased with yields nearing 4.5% between terms 12 and 25 years compared to 5% at December 2009. At long durations, the yields have remained constant compared to December 2009.
In this publication, our market analysis focuses on equity and bond markets and their impact on an insurer’s balance sheet.
