Presented by Louise Botting The winds of change are blowing strongly through the financial markets as the big institutions compete ever more fiercely for the chance to look after your money. Every week new products are launched to join an already bewildering array of schemes, while at the same time economic conditions are constantly changing.
How quickly will inflation come down? What is the outlook for interest rates? Will investors really get enough protection from dishonesty and incompetence? What is going to happen to pensions and benefits?
These are the sort of questions the Money Box team tackles every week with the help of experts from the fields of banking, housing, insurance, investment, tax and social security.
