Crikey! Are the Bank of England going to opine on interest rates again? It's funny how they always do it a few hours after the Halifax publish their figures.
PS, we got a nice letter from National Savings & Investments yesterday telling us that the interest rate on our Monthly Saver had gone up from 1% to 2%, that must signify something, although I'm not sure quite what.

LP you read my mind - this particular graph is my favourite - the downward path will soon be reinstated !

mw - 100% increase on interest earnings - yet another green shoot !!!
LP - real? nominal?

icasrus - the graph is not mine, it's from crown's blog. I assume it is nominal prices, the fall was much more than 14% peak to trough in real terms in the 90s.

Question @ 7 with graph @2 in mind (high inflation in early 90s).
