February’s featured article

This month’s featured article is: Economic outlook: Inflation and interest rates on the rise?

It is important to keep an eye on interest rates, especially if you have a mortgage. As interest rates rise, it leads to increasing mortgage repayment costs for borrowers. To find out more about inflation and increasing interest rates and to read the article, visit the Money101 portal.
