The new tables published last week by the Government Actuary at the new discount rate of -0.25% are based on the same mortality data that was used in the last edition of the Ogden tables (7th Edition). The tables are thus based on the 2008 projected data.
The Office of National Statistics are due to publish updated mortality statistics at the end of the year. It is understood that at that point the Government Actuary will publish updated tables at the prevailing discount rate using the new mortality data.
No publication date has yet been given but based on previous experience we would expect this to take place in or around November of this year, with the updated tables following a short time afterwards.
The tables can be accessed here.
