The Government has introduced a range of measures to support savers.<\/p>
We have increased the amount of money that people can save into their ISAs each year to a record £20,000 and introduced a Personal Savings Allowance of up to £1,000 for basic rate taxpayers and up to £500 for higher rate taxpayers.<\/p>
Thanks to these measures, over 95% of people with savings income pay no tax on that income.<\/p>

The Government has fundamentally reformed regulation of the consumer credit market, transferring regulatory responsibility to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on 1 April 2014. Although the Treasury sets the legal framework for the regulation of financial services, the FCA is an independent body. Therefore this is a matter for the FCA.<\/p>
<\/p>
The FCA has tough enforcement powers \u2013 criminal, civil and regulatory \u2013 to protect consumers and to take action against firms and individuals that do not meet its standards. Since the transfer, the FCA has taken a proactive approach on consumer credit, to ensure that all consumers who use high-cost credit products are treated fairly.<\/p>

As a responsible Government, we have been preparing for a range of potential EU exit outcomes for over two years, including the possibility of no deal.<\/p>
In November 2018 the Government published a detailed set of economic analyses on the long-term impacts of EU exit on the UK economy, its sectors, nations and regions, and the public finances.<\/p>
The analysis shows that the spectrum of outcomes for the future UK-EU relationship would deliver significantly higher economic output than the no deal scenario. Every sector, nation and region would be better-off than in a no deal scenario.<\/p>
