Ready for a rainy day
IRISH people are continuing to put away money for a rainy day according to the latest Nationwide UK (Ireland) Savings Index. The index increased by three points in August, following on from a four-point increase in July. Nationwide said the index continues to be driven by a rise in the number of people who think it is a good time to save while there is continuing economic uncertainty.
