Explained in plain English

How could my savings be affected?

A slowing economy and potential inflation could impact your personal finances. If inflation rises due to higher oil prices, the purchasing power of your savings could decrease, meaning your money buys less. Interest rates might also be affected, potentially impacting returns on savings accounts or the cost of borrowing.
