Britons save at record levels
Record low interest rates are not deterring Britons spooked by the recession from saving at record levels.
According to National Savings & Investments’ (NS&I) quarterly savings report, the amount set aside by the average person rose to £92.41 per month during the first quarter of 2009, up from £90.12 in the final three months of 2008.
Furthermore, the average regularly saver put away the largest monthly amount since the survey began four-and-a-half years ago, at £209.23.
With average income falling slightly across the population, the amount saved as a percentage of income rose to 6.83%, up from 6.48% in the winter of 2008/09.
The number of people saving regularly remained constant for the fifth successive quarter with 47% of the population setting some money aside.
In an ideal world, savers questioned said they wanted to add to their deposits by an average £219.11 per month, up from £210.26 in the final quarter of 2008 and £195.67 a year earlier.
Meanwhile, over-spending was reigned in slightly, with 28% of respondents blowing their budgets during the first three months of 2009, compared with 30% in the previous three months.
NS&I’s senior savings strategist, Dax Harkins, comments: “The results show some very positive savings behaviour this spring, with the average amount held in savings up from £17,372 in winter 2008/09 to £18,443.”

Iceland nationalises biggest bank
Iceland nationalises biggest bank
Iceland has nationalised its biggest bank, Kaupthing, and suspended trade on its stock exchange in an attempt to prevent further panic in the country.
Kaupthing is the third bank to be rescued by Iceland's government.
The OMX Nordic Exchange Iceland is closed for trading for two days because of "unusual market conditions" and will reopen on Monday.
Meanwhile, Iceland's Prime Minister Geir Haarde criticised the UK's move to freeze Icelandic bank assets.
Mr Haarde said the UK used anti-terrorism legislation to freeze assets in Landsbanki in order to protect UK savings in one of its units, Icesave.
"We do not consider this to be a particularly friendly act. But we understand that the UK authorities need to act in the interests of their citizens," he said.
Over the past years, Iceland has pursued a policy of inflation targeting, similar to the UK..In the case of Iceland it was disastrous.
Jon Danielsson, EconomistLondon School of Economics
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has condemned Iceland's handling of the collapse of its banks and its failure to guarantee British savers' deposits.
Mr Brown said it was "effectively illegal" and "completely unacceptable".
Unusual conditions
Mr Haarde said Iceland had not decided whether to seek help from the International Monetary Fund to weather the crisis.
The country's Financial Supervisory Authority said it took over Kaupthing to safeguard its domestic banking system.
All domestic deposits at the bank were fully guaranteed, it added.
On Wednesday, the UK Treasury arranged for ING Direct to take over the £2.5bn of deposits of 160,000 UK customers of Kaupthing's online arm, Kaupthing Edge.
The Swedish central bank had already agreed to provide a loan to the bank's Swedish arm.
Iceland's government has now seized control of all three of the nation's major banks. Landsbanki and Glitnir were taken over earlier this week.
The country of just 300,000 people has struggled to cope with the global financial crisis.
"The action taken... was a necessary first step in achieving the objectives of the Icelandic government and parliament to ensure the continued orderly operation of domestic banking and the safety of domestic deposits," Iceland's Financial Supervisory Authority said.
