As George Osborne rises to deliver his much anticipated emergency budget on 22 June at 12.30, the Actuarial Profession will be launching its Twitter news feed to offer instant analysis of what the Chancellor’s announcements will mean for pensions, finance, banking, the public sector and the economy.
We will also be offering our Twitter followers the opportunity to put questions directly to our experts as we look for the big picture beyond the headlines.
