IMF Warning on UK Growth

Monday, April 5, 2010 12:21
Posted in category Economic Outlook

IMFIn the January report, the International Monetary Fund had predicted that UK GDP would rise by 1.3% in 2010 and 2.7% in 2011. However, according to leaked extracts of its World Economic Outlook, it is indicated that IMF has downgraded its UK growth forecast for 2011 from 2.7% to 2.5%.
It is suggested that whoever wins the election will face an even tougher task to rein in the deficit. The forecasts, which will be published on April 21, also suggest the economic recovery in the eurozone will take slightly longer due to the problems in Greece.
At the same time, IMF has revised up its forecast for global growth in 2010 slightly to 4.1%. It is driven by an improvement in the US economy, which is expected to grow 3% in 2010.

Should You Wait to Re-mortgage?

Monday, April 5, 2010 9:12
Posted in category Property Market

re-mortgageAs dozens of lenders have been taken over merged or shut up shop, the the number of mortgage deals has shrunk by 90% during the nearly three years credit crunch. In 2010, three new banks are set to inject some life into the moribund mortgage market. However, is it worth waiting for the banks to open their doors before remortgaging?
The numbers of players this year is set to edge back up, led by, though not limited to, a supermarket chain and Richard Branson.
First to open is set to be former US bank boss Vernon Hill with two Metro Bank branches this summer, and plans for nearly 200 more. Meanwhile, Tesco is testing its systems before launching mortgages through its own standalone bank. And Virgin Money has just acquired a full banking licence and is expected to open with a bang by taking over part of the Northern Rock business, which will be renamed.
While the three new banks may have a few flagship deals for the first-time buyers, the experts indicates that they will focus on those who want to remortgage.
So anyone whose deal is due to expire in the second half of the year should check their offerings in advance. Remember that the banks may opt out of price-comparison websites. They may also refuse to offer mortgages through brokers.

Election Threat to Free Financial Advice

Sunday, April 4, 2010 16:06
Posted in category Money

financing quick guideUK’s General Election is threatening to derail plans to provide oversee guidance on money matters available to the public over the Internet, by phone and in person. The programme of Money Guidance would go under the umbrella of Moneymadeclear—educational brand of the FSA.
A Bill is passing through Parliament. It would enable the programme to be funded partly by the FSA, partly by the financial services industry and partly by money released from cash held in forgotten bank accounts.
However, the Bill may never be passed, unless it passes through Parliament before the election, which seems quite unlikely now.
