Savings fall
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.TOTAL gross sales of all National Savings products in June amounted to pounds 709m. The highest sales were for fixed-interest savings certificates at pounds 263m, while the next highest were for income bonds at pounds 129m.
Sales were pounds 131m lower than the May figures, mainly because purchases of index-linked certificates dropped from an unexpectedly high level. After repayments of pounds 491m, net receipts totalled pounds 218m.
The total amount invested in National Savings at the end of June was pounds 41.3bn.
