Call You & Yours: Are you feeling more optimistic about your finances?
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
On today's Call You and Yours, we're asking: How optimistic are you feeling about your finances? According to the International Monetary Fund, the UK's growth forecast has increased from 0.8 to 1%. As a result, the UK is the fastest-growing of any G7 European economy, despite predictions last month that it would be one of the worst hit by the conflict with Iran. However, with consumer confidence still at its lowest for years, has this filtered through yet to individuals? Are you having to cut back less than you thought? Is your business doing well? Or are you still feeling cautious when it comes to spending? Let us know. You can call 03700 100 444 after 11am. Or you can email us at youandyours@bbc.co.uk.
