Press releaseNS&I QUARTERLY SAVINGS SURVEY: ISSUE 1626 September 2008NS&I (National Savings and Investments) will be publishing its 16th Quarterly Savings Survey on 26 September. The summer 2008 survey provides an incisive and continuous view of the UK savings market, tracking the development of savings trends over both the last quarter and the last year. The survey also covers the predicted savings outlook for the coming months. The summer 2008 Quarterly Savings Survey will reveal: - The population is hoping to save more than ever before, possibly in an attempt to accumulate a more substantial savings ‘pot’ to increase financial security. - Actual savings levels are however falling short of these ideals with the average saved per head across the population increasing marginally. - Regular savers are acting on their ideals. They have increased the amount they set aside every quarter over the past year and are now setting aside the highest amounts since the QSS began. This perhaps indicates that this group are more responsive to the economic climate than non-regular savers. - British parents are prepared to go into debt and make personal sacrifices in order to give their children the best opportunities and make sure they don’t miss out. Media briefings Interviews will be available on the Quarterly Savings Survey with Tim Mack, senior savings spokesperson from NS&I and other NS&I spokespeople.
