This is 2025: What happened to our finances and the economy this year
Published 7 months ago
Description
We are almost at the end of a year that turned out to be rollercoaster ride for our finances.
Investors have had a good year but there was certainly some twists and turns along the way.
The economy started off strong and then began to stutter, interest rates came down by a full percentage point and inflation spiked again.
Meanwhile, the most hotly anticipated Budget turned out to be not as bad as it could have been but has not gone down well with businesses and taxpayers.
On this final 2025 episode of the This is Money podcast, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert take a quick ride through this year and what it meant for our finances.
