Nicholas Hyett notes UK consumers have saved money during the pandemic but continue to save more, potentially due to cost of living pressures and macro-economic uncertainty.
Hyett explains UK mortgage dynamics contribute to increased savings, with homeowners preparing for higher interest rates by stashing cash rather than spending.
Lower consumer spending in the UK compared to the US has slowed economic growth, but could lead to a more resilient recovery when excess savings are eventually unlocked.
