urante su discurso sobre el estado de la Unión del pasado martes, el presidente Donald Trump planteó la posibilidad de crear nuevas cuentas para el retiro, independientes de los conocidos planes 401(k).

España. El Congreso aprueba, a la segunda, subir un 2,7% las pensiones en 2026: así quedan las mínimas y las máximas

El Congreso ha aprobado este jueves, a la segunda, la revalorización de las pensiones para 2026, después de que decayera el Real Decreto-Ley ómnibus que aprobó el Gobierno a finales del año pasado, lo que forzó al Ejecutivo a desgajar la subida de las jubilaciones del resto del escudo social para asegurar su éxito parlamentario. La norma ha recibido el apoyo casi unánime de la Cámara -solo Vox se ha descolgado-, ya que su convalidación estaba garantizada con el apoyo del PP. La ministra...

The organization has around 12 trillion yen ($76.8 billion) in assets under management. Similar, albeit smaller, declines...

Richard Tice, the party’s business spokesman, set out a vision of a “fund patriotically backing British companies, buying and promoting British product… (with a) strategic UK growth mandate backing Britain all the way.” Across England and Wales...
