'UK making financial new year's resolutions'
28/12/2006
 Some 43.9 per cent of the UK's adult population are planning on making financial new year's resolutions, according to a survey published this week.
Of those planning on setting new goals in 2007, 43.1 per cent will be addressing their financial situation, the study commissioned by F&C Asset Management suggests. The research also shows that people are not confident that the government is doing all it can to encourage a savings culture in the UK, with 70 per cent believing those running the country could do more in this field. Jason Hollands, director and head of communications at F&C, remarked: "Our research shows that the tradition of making new year resolutions remains strong." However, some 45 per cent of those making new vows in 2007 believe that they are unlikely to keep to them, he added. Overall, "only 17 per cent" of people think they will keep to their new year's resolutions throughout the whole 12 months, Mr Hollands concluded. With New Year's Eve three days away, Yorkshire Bank has published research showing that women are more likely than men to buy new clothes in time for the evening.
