Dutch pension fund ABP threatens to cut payments

ABP warns that it might have to reduce pensions payments as low interest rates make it difficult for the fund to maintain guarantees

ABP, one of the world's largest pension funds warned on Friday that it may have to reduce pension payments and called on authorities to change regulations, as historically low interest rates are making it increasingly difficult for it to maintain guarantees under current valuation rules.

The pension fund also warned that higher life expectancy will have a bigger negative impact than previously expected.
