Monday 3rd March 2008
Consumer confidence has fallen significantly over the past quarter, Standard Life's Savings & Investment Index has shown.
A score of 11 in October 2007 fell to just three in January 2008 - both figures well down on October 2006's high of 23.
Poll respondents were asked on whether or not they would like to invest their money in a variety of sectors in order to compile the index.

"It's important that people don't lose their nerve because of the current market volatility."

Cash ISAs were seen as a good investment by 86 per cent of people.
