The amount of savings people living in the UK have can be measured by looking at the financial assets in the combined Household and Not for Profit Institutions Serving Households (NPISH) balance sheet in the UK's National Accounts. Currency and deposits are financial assets that are used to make payments or that may be included in money, broadly defined, consisting of currency, transferable deposits and other deposits. These data are sourced from the Bank of England.
Table 6.1.9 - Financial balance sheet: Households and non-profit institutions serving households - of the UK Economic Accounts shows that in Quarter 4 2015, Households and NPISH had Total Currency and Deposit assets of £1.478 trillion. This is primarily made up of deposits with UK financial institutions.
This information is updated every 3 months with the publication of the UK Economic Accounts.
