Saving and Investing

We are focusing on saving and investing, and we want to hear your experiences.

On the latest edition of Your Money Lesley Curwen and Paul Lewis will be focusing on saving and investing.

Are you managing to save and if so, what are you saving for and where are you putting your money?

Does inflation and poor savings rates mean you’re not getting much of a return for your cash?

The programme will be hearing why people in China in some cases save as much as 50% of their wages and why community-based savings clubs are so popular in sub Saharan Africa.

Who do people trust to look after their cash? Do they leave it in the bank or even under their mattress?

Low interest rates in many countries has led some people to put their money in more risky financial products.

How important is the safety of your money?

Does your country have a banking guarantee scheme that protects your cash?

Do you prefer the protection of government bonds?

Or are you happy to take a risk on shares, property or gold?

Your Money will explore the options and highlight your saving and investing experiences from around the world.
