If you mean annuity rates then I wouldn't hold your breath!
I can't imagine many retirees buy annuities these days unless it's written into the policy. I had to buy a small one with £5k I had left over from some AVCs that I took most of as the tax free lump sum. It bought me £250 a year with no increases (would have been about half that had I wanted some RPI linkage).
