Survey finds fewer people saving money

ONE-IN-THREE savers put aside more than €100 a month but the number of people stashing their cash away is falling.

People who say they are saving regularly declined from 39% to 36% last month, according to the latest Nationwide (Ireland) ESRI Savings Index report.

The proportion of consumers who think now is a good time to save dipped from 31% in March to 28% in April.
