Quarterly Savings Survey

The Quarterly Savings Survey, launched by NS&I 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.
