How do you solve national savings? ›

In economics, a country's national saving is the sum of private and public saving. It equals a nation's income minus consumption and the government spending.

The answer is very safe. The savings institution is backed by the UK government (specifically, HM Treasury), which means all savings are guaranteed 100% by the government. This is the case because NS&I is essentially an arm of the government.

Premium Bonds could be worth investing in if you: Have a lot of money to save (the more bonds you have, the bigger your chance of winning a prize) Pay tax on savings interest (and have already used up your annual cash ISA allowance) Like the idea of a prize draw (you could win big, but you also may not win anything)

What is the average return on $50,000 premium bonds? ›

So, the average return on 50k of premium bonds is £450 per year. When writing, an easy access savings account would give around 0.65%, but a fixed one-year savings account would pay in excess of 1%, thus beating average returns from holding Premium Bonds.

The initial yield is only good for the first six months you own the bond. After that, the investment acts like any other variable vehicle, meaning rates could go down and you have no control over it. And if you wait until, say, 2026 to buy an I bond, the initial rate could be well below current levels.
