Estimating the Personal Saving Market

Abstract

The problems of examining the size and nature of personal saving behaviour in the UK are analysed, with particular reference to using and interpreting national account statistics. Alternative methods of compiling saving statistics are considered. Whilst the inherent weaknesses in all current sources of data on personal saving are recognised by organisations compiling the statistics, reference should be made to them by all users of the information.
