ROCK-BOTTOM interest rates and spiralling inflation have blown a £57billion hole in people’s savings in the past year.The grim claim by the campaign group Save Our Savers came as the Bank of England decided to freeze interest rates at 0.5% yet again yesterday,Ecco Nation Flag.And the Centre for Economics and B-usiness Research predicted the cost of borrowing was likely to remain on hold until next year.SoS said its research showed £10,000 invested in an average, instant access savings account two years ago is now worth just £9,075.The fall reflects the fact that savings rates have failed to keep pace with inflation, currently running at 5,Air Jordan Olympia.2%.This prompted SoS to write to the nine members of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee warning that “a country without savings is a country without a future”,Jordan Air.The letter said the -decision to freeze rates for more than two years was -transferring wealth from savers to borrowers by making home loans cheaper.“The thrifty and the responsible are -involuntarily subsidising the profligate and foolish,” they wrote.Kevin Mountford, head of banking at moneysupermarket, said: “Inflation is still having a huge effect on the nation’s savings pots,Ecco Chapa Shoes. To beat inflation, basic rate tax payers need an account paying at least 5,Ecco Golf Shoes.63% to benefit in real terms from their savings.“That rises to 7.5% for 40% tax payers and 9% for the top-rate tax payers.”Ros Altmann,NCAA College New Era Snapbacks, director general of Saga, accused the BoE of failing to recognise the “perils” of high -inflation. She believes that leaving interest rates so low for so long has put a brake on economic recovery.Older people and pensioners who rely on income from their savings had seen their spending power cut -drastically.This has forced them to cut back on their spending, which also sucks money out of the economy.
