I am very hostile to any further quantative easing. The alleged benefits from expanding the money supply has over the last few years have been short lived as the commodity prices have risen which has chocked off any recovery in the developed world. The inflation which results from expanding the money supply and the artificial decreasing of interest rates are very harmful for savers and those who are planning on retiring in the near future. Annuity rates whilst hard to quantify have been adversely affected by the gilt rates being kept low. The Government does not adequately offer British savers and pensioners Retail Price Index (RPI) inflation proof returns. I hope NS&I will offer more savings certificates with a guaranteed return above inflation, after all it is the Government which controls the expansion of the money supply and it is primarily Government failure in its economic miss-management that causes inflation.rnrnThis information is intended to provide a general review of certain topics and its purpose is to inform but not to recommend or support any specific investment or course of action.
