Economic Scenario Files
Published
Description
The Government Actuary's Department is seeking a Provider to provide stochastic simulations of economic scenarios and asset returns. Lot 1: The Government Actuary's Department ('GAD') is a non-ministerial Government department with a mission to improve the stewardship of public sector finances by supporting effective decisionmaking and robust financial reporting through actuarial analysis, modelling and advice. We provide actuarial solutions including financial risk analysis, modelling and advice to support the UK public sector. We apply the actuarial profession's technical skills, consultancy discipline, high standards of professionalism and industry sector knowledge to solve financial challenges faced by the UK public sector. GAD is currently advising a client who requires analysis of future asset and liability outcomes. To support our advice in this area, GAD are looking to tender for a contract for the provision of a stochastic real-world economic scenario set ("scenario set" or "economic scenario file"). The economic scenario file should contain stochastic forecasts of economic scenarios covering investment returns for a range of asset classes, as well as inflation measures, for a retail investor in the UK. GAD already receives quarterly scenario sets from our regular projection provider and this contract is a one-off exercise to supplement those projections, to help us test the sensitivity of our analysis to the selected scenarios. While the focus of this work is to satisfy the requirements of a single Government Actuary's Department - Invitation to Tender - Economic Scenarios 19 client, we reserve the right to use any scenario sets provided to us as part of this contract in work for other clients where we deem it to be applicable. We require an initial scenario set calibrated with an effective date as at or before 31 December 2023 and delivered as soon as possible after the tender is awarded. This calibration should be based on standard assumptions that reflect the provider's own views. Based on this scenario set and subsequent engagement between the supplier, GAD and the client, additional scenarios set may be required. Depending on the views of the client, the potential outcomes include: • No additional scenario sets are required. • One or more additional scenario sets, which reflect the provider's own views, are required. • One or more additional scenario sets, adjusted in consultation with GAD and the client, are required. These additional scenario sets will be calibrated with an effective date as at or after 31 December 2023. These additional scenario sets will be covered under this contract (ie separate procurement exercises will not be conducted). Based on our current timelines, GAD expect we will only require one additional scenario set, if any additional scenario sets are required. Please highlight in your costings the impact of these different options. We also require that the scenarios: • Are based on sound economic principles and methods. • Are calibrated to reflect the market and economic conditions at the effective date to ensure consistency with the date at which they are used. • Are calibrated to reflect the provider's own view on the long-term outcome for key economic variables in the scenario set, with any changes as required based on consultation with GAD and our client. GAD recognises that it may also be possible to procure access to an "economic scenario model" to provide the capability for GAD to produce the scenarios files described above ourselves. Due to current levels of capacity and capability, our preference is for the scenario sets to be provided to us based on calibration targets, adjustments and stresses that are discussed and agreed with the supplier. It is therefore essential that tenderers have the capability to deliver scenarios to us directly. The outcome of this analysis will be published publicly, alongside some detail of the underlying asset and liability assumptions. This published information could include details of the asset return and inflation assumptions.
