personal savings rate

Income transfers might not trickle very far given China's historically high personal savings rate and a recent dip in consumer confidence.

It's a good sign the U. S. personal savings rate is now running at over 6% after flatlining for years.

With incomes up slightly more than spending, the personal savings rate edged up to 5. 8 percent of after-tax incomes in August.

The personal savings rate as a share of disposable income dropped to a four-year low of 3. 6 per cent in September.

This imbalance is also influenced by a culture of thrift that has produced the world's highest personal savings rate.

All these countries except Australia had before the economic crisis a higher personal savings rate than the United States.

The personal savings rate has been rising over the past year.

It would likely cause another drop in the personal savings rate, which fell to 4. 6% in June from 6. 2% a month earlier.

Consider: From 1985 to 2005, the personal savings rate dropped from 9 percent of disposable income to almost zero.

In 2007, the personal savings rate (the share of after-tax income devoted to saving) was 2 percent. Now it's about 6 percent.

The median personal savings rate has jumped to 5%, up from 2. 9% a decade ago, according to CLSA.

In March 2009, the personal savings rate reached 5. 7% of disposable income, a 14-year high.
