That this House notes that UK Savings Week 2024 is celebrated between 9 and 15 September to highlight the pressures of inflation, which are still affecting many households; highlights that the average consumer in Northern Ireland saves an average of £230 a month; further highlights that areas in the East of England top the savings table, where average savings pots are £18,458.60; further notes that Savings Week launched in 2022, working alongside many well known building societies, such as United Trust Bank and HSBC; thanks the Building Societies Association for their work in creating UK Savings Week; and hopes that this UK Savings Week will support people of all ages to develop resilience and confidence in their finances.
