Recent Financial Events...September & October 2008

The Bank of England lowered interest rates yesterday (8 October) along with other Central Banks. The idea being to stop or lessen recessions around the world.

Events have been driven by fear more than reality. What we will see is more regulation and less risk, which is what consumers need.
