Quarterly Savings Survey
The NS&I Savings Survey, launched by NS&I more than five years ago in December 2004 and published each quarter, aims to monitor trends in people’s savings habits on a regular basis, at a national and regional level. Through the survey, NS&I aims to encourage the public to recognise the need to save and to save in a more strategic way, which is more suited to their individual needs in the short and long term.
Spring 2010 Savings Survey Reviewed
Tracker Research
- Spring 2010 saw the number of people who say they regularly save each month has increased to 50% of the population. This is the first time for more than two years (since winter 2007/08) that half of the population say they are committed to a savings habit.
- There has been a significant change in the population’s financial behaviour with people increasing the amount they are setting aside for the first time in a year. On average, Britons are now saving £85.21 each month, which is up from £81.94 last quarter
- Take-home income has continued to decline, falling to £1,235.00 from £1,310.10 last quarter, however this suggests that savings are now more of a priority
