Title: UK households paying down personal debt
Post by: The Prophet on July 09, 2011, 11:34:09 am
Consumption accounts for around 60% of the UK economy.  But UK households are paying down personal debt.
In the first quarter of 2011, they have paid back £5.8 billion of housing debt equating to 2.3% of their net income.
With inflation and higher taxes putting a squeeze on real incomes it is not surprising that spending in the high street fell by the
most in two years.
