Once inflation rises interest rates will rise rapidly as well

The stock market isn't a saving product.
Anything else I can be of assistance with, just ask
Not true, you can save into a stock market investment e.g. ISA tracker, most people don't put it all in at once, anything else I can help you with, just ask

I've highlighted your problem
Problem being, I said saving product which kept up with inflation.
You could put 5k into an ISA, and find you have got 3k a year later.
You'll get there, I'm sure 0 -

Some products will outperform inflation, some won't.
It's not possible to tell the future, and nothing is guaranteed.

Yes...or...No?
Yes.
Savings.
Portion of disposable income not spent on consumption of consumer goods but accumulated or invested directly in capital equipment or in paying off a home mortgage, or indirectly through purchase of securities.
Product.
It is usually a bundle of tangible and intangible attributes (benefits, features, functions, uses) that a seller offers to a buyer for purchase.0 -

Easy job is't it juggling an inflation target with economic stability . TBF they have done a far better job than anyone on here could have hoped.
Still got a banking system, stablised house prices (ish) and out of recession.
Mind you not sure that is better for some on here.0 -
Nice to see the 'gang' on here tonight. Yes, they've spent billions that we didn't have to paper over the cracks - how long to gauge the success do you think? 10 years? 20? 50?Easy job is't it juggling an inflation target with economic stability .

Care to expand on that? Would inflation not been higher had they not stablised the economy.
Why are people so desprate to have high inflation and a high base rate? (other than to try to get people to default?)
It will screw savers even more than now. Also looks like people are forgetting those poor pensioners a bit quickly.;)
sustained high inflation needs to be fed, so if we get high inflation wages will go up. If they don't it will fall again as people buy less.0
