Dear Listener

Interest rates UP, house prices UP, inflation UP, shares UP. That was 2006. What will 2007 bring? Will shares rise for the fifth year in a row? Can house prices keep on rising – up for eleven years on the trot? Will inflation come back to haunt us? And where will interest rates end up? Two economists – and at least three opinions! – live on Money Box. Plus our very own FTSE 100 prediction!

We report on a little known threat to companies – ID theft. The crime can cost £1 million a time. And even if nothing is stolen, it can cost victims thousands to clear their name. Are new laws enough – or too late?

We report from Wales on an initiative to get primary school children in the savings habit – a penny at a time!

As gas prices tumble on the markets when will domestic fuel costs fall? And by how much?

That’s all in Money Box. Saturday at noon and anytime on the web. There’s no repeat on Sunday this week but there’s more information on our website about all these items now.

And don’t forget to enter the Christmas Quiz – 20 multiple choice questions that could bag you a digital radio. Details on our website.

Best wishes for the New Year.
