Are annuities making a comeback?

In 2022 annuity rates have climbed by 40-50 per cent - which is a 14-year high- with these rates boosted by soaring long-term gilt yields. And in late September and early October there were some particularly sharp increases.- in part, be attributed to financial markets having less confidence in the government, following the “mini” Budget.
