    Or interest rates could go negative - You put your money in a bank account, and the bank takes nibbles from it each month.

    Oh wait - Didn't I hear they were thinking of introducing bank charges for current accounts?

    I've got a repayment mortgage tracker on 0.65 above base rate which I'm considering paying off. Surely it's worth me settling it early as I have to make the principal repayment every month as well as the interest component?

    They could even be coming down by .25% if the Euro does keel over. Great for anyone on a tracker mortgage (ah, that will be me )

    .48% in my case.

    That credit card stooze is looking clever.

    Yeah but it won't stop the banks to actually increase mortgage rates.

    It could be longer. How long have Japan had a negligible interest rate? We seem to be modelling our economy on theirs.
