Tóm tắt nội dung: If you believe the UK economy is set for Japanese-style long-term deflation, locking away savings in fixed-rate bonds is the way to go. Nationwide offers a fixed 4.15% return on its five-year bonds, a good rate in the current climate but which might prove a fabulous one. If inflation falls to -3% and stays there for several years, the decision to save at such a rate would fall into a "greatest financial decisions" category. However, if you believe we are due a shorter period of deflation, and a big jump in interest rates when inflation returns, a different strategy is required.
