State of the Nation: Wave Two

The events leading up to 2024 have shaped the financial landscape of the UK. Increased inflation and interest rates have led to a cost-of-living crisis that has gripped consumers and changed the way we think, behave and manage our finances. Investments and businesses have also felt the impacts of these changes as rising costs hit their bottom line.

Much has changed in the second quarter of 2024 as well, with the calling of a general election and signs of improvement in the rate of inflation, but has this changed the outlook for the UK since earlier this year?

Opinium have launched the second wave of the State of the Nation report, exploring financial attitudes and behaviour of consumers, investors, and financial advisers across the UK. Research will be conducted quarterly, providing insight into the changing thoughts, aspirations, concerns and behaviour of these key groups.
