Our monthly economic reviews are intended to provide background to recent developments in investment markets as well as to give an indications of how some key issues could impact in the future.
It is not intended that individual investment decisions should be taken based on this information; Bruce Janman and his colleagues are always ready to discuss your individual requirements. We hope you will find this review to be of interest.
Early April 2009
Good news, the savings ratio is rising; bad news, the savings ratio is rising! The proportion of household income allocated to savings – has been falling almost consistently since the first quarter of 1992, reaching a low point of -1.2% (that is people were making net withdrawals from savings) at the start of last year. But by the end of 2008, the ratio has bounced back to 4.8%.
Other issues addressed this month include: bank regulation will it help?; economic growth; inflation and our monthly market overview.
