Consider changes to RRSPs, before provincial pension plan, says C.D. Howe
– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO – Ottawa is being urged to reconsider enhancing RRSPs as a way of getting more Canadians to save for retirement.
The paper by the C.D. Howe Institute says policy-makers often overlook improving Registered Retirement Savings Plans because, it is argued, not enough people actually make contributions.
But the think-tank points out that by taking into account those who only have private savings for retirement — as opposed to those who can rely on a workplace plan — then contribution rates are much higher.
The report says that RRSPs are “most beneficial” to those who make $50,000 or more and are not covered by a workplace plan.
Among this group, about half had made a contribution in 2013, contributing an average of 10 per cent of their earnings.
The institute argues that is not the case for low- to average-income workers, or those who make less than $25,000 a year or between $25,000 to $50,000 a year, who do not have a workplace pension. It says that is because they will receive enough from the Canada Pension Plan and other government programs to maintain their standard of living…

Royal Bank of Scotland warns it’s ready to move HQ to England in case of Scottish independence
– canadianbusiness.com
LONDON – Royal Bank of Scotland says it has made plans to move its headquarters to England in the event that Scotland votes for independence next week.
The bank, a key employer in Scotland and a symbol of its financial sector, says it has drawn up contingency plans because being based in an independent Scotland would create uncertainties that could hurt its business and customers. It says it could affect its credit rating and change the legal, fiscal and monetary environment it works in.
Thursday’s warning comes a day after another financial group, Standard Life, said it is ready to move parts of its business to England in case of independence.
RBS has been based in Scotland since 1727.
