Chris Curry reflects on 2025 progress

I'm delighted to tell you that we have just published our latest progress update report for the Pensions Dashboards Programme, and as we're coming to the end of another year, I thought it'd be worth just reflecting on the progress that we've made during 2025.

I am thrilled that we have now connected over 60 million pension scheme records, as well as connecting the State Pension, which means tens of millions of State Pension records are also available as well.

We've also, in a very exciting development, started to test the MoneyHelper Pensions Dashboard with real individuals, and so for the first time people are able to see their own pension records through a pensions dashboard in the UK, and I'm personally very excited by that and looking forward to seeing how that testing evolves into 2026.

As ever, it's been a real collaborative effort this year to make sure that we've made all that progress, and alsongside all of the hard work from colleagues here in the Money and Pensions Service, I'd also like to thank our delivery partners in The Pensions Regulator, the FCA, and the Department for Work and Pensions, and most of all, you in the industry who've been working so hard to make sure that all this progress on pensions dashboards can happen.

I hope you all have a restful Christmas period and I really look forward to working with you again during 2026.
