With countries slowly rebuilding their economies and trying to recover what is lost. Obviously, there are still uncertainties, especially with the new Covid-19 variant that emerging, the Omicron variant.
For Cameron James, 2021 has been a great year in terms of the market and the company’s growth. We saw growth of clients in the US, a rising YouTube channel that provides great content that fills the viewers’ needs, and future positive plans that we prepared to welcome 2022 with discounts program that you should not be missed. All of that we wrap in this blog below.
Global Economic Review
Following the 2020 Global Pandemic, the global economy began to recover in 2021. The Covid-19 Pandemic had a greater impact on certain nations than others, with others experiencing more localized problems as a result of the pandemic. As a result of unequal global openness, labour shortages and supply concerns have been worsened by unpredictable inflation.
In general, advanced economies have outperformed developing economies, with the United States being a notable exception. Despite the rise of Covid-19 cases and newly variant Omicron, US consumers' confidence has remained strong.
The recent recovery in the Asia-Pacific region has been delayed by Covid-19 policies. Although the area was effectively counter-attacking the virus in the early phases of the pandemic, there are people who are still reluctant to take the vaccine. Fortunately, the opening of borders and movement have recently returned to the countries which can support the economies despite the emerging of the Omicron variant that is still rarely seen in the region.
Consumer confidence is increasing as developing economies loosen their regulatory restraints. Emerging economies such as Russia, Poland, Indonesia, Chile, and Brazil have GDP levels that are equal to or higher than those before to the pandemic.

Defined Benefit Pension Transfer
With the new regulations set by the UK’s Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the Final Salary Pension transfer business is getting more and more difficult from time to time. Especially, with the new regulation that is effectively in force in 1st of December 2021. The DWP announce the new system called the Traffic Light System.
This system applies for all upcoming DB transfer process. With this new Traffic Light system, your statutory right to transfer your DB pension without further review will be removed by this new Traffic Light System. Ultimately, the decision to transfer your DB pension will fall into the UK ceding schemes. The reasons are to minimize the chance of you getting scammed in the first place and due to the DB deficits, the UK government is being pushed on an almost weekly basis by UK ceding schemes.
While this regulation will surely prolong the current process of a DB transfer, it is also bad news for any individual looking to transfer their Final Salary Pension into personal pension schemes such as SIPP or QROPS. However, Cameron James did not step back from this complexity. Rather, we see this as an opportunity to become a specialist in the Final Salary Pension Transfer industry, and we look forward to striving in the future.
