Commenting on the impact of inflation on pension schemes, Mr Knapp said: "Inflation in particular affects those schemes with indexed benefits. So, for example, rising inflation may raise future benefits and asset returns may not keep up - or even falling inflation may not cause benefits to fall, but this also usually means lower interest rates and that can increase liability values."
