    They've already achieved their aim - most people in this country got very little money (cash or not) in the first place.

      1. Start here with Money.
      2. Get divorced. Money = Money / 2;
      3. Let Gidiot have a go. Money = Money / 2;
      4. Let the banks apply negative rates and depositor haircuts. Money = Money / 2;

        Whether it does or not, that reporting is utter crap. I was listening to that committee (anorak, I know) and he was purely answering a hypothetical question about the lower bound they envisage. There was no change in policy direction implied.

              Probably a good idea since this is the guy who got slapped for rattling the markets not long ago by talking about a %5 rate rise over the course of the next year or two and then sharply back-pedalled once he realised the economy wasn't that hot, actually.

              In the States they've had monthly fees to maintain a savings account with less than $1000 balance and a fraction of a point of interest for years. We've never had it so good here.

                Yes yes yes....this is all well and good, but what is it going to do for the price of my house?

                    5. And then you die - Gidiot gets half again.

                      Transcriber does not need to understand the tulip they are saying - imagine poor analysts who have to read and try to understand what they meant between the lines...
