Anyone know which 'Index' these Savings Certificates use?
As far as I can see, the RPI is currently around 4% - but Gordon Brown was standing up in the Commons yesterday and talking about inflation at 2% - presumably based on a different set of 'adjusted' figures.
There seem to be so many different indexes - adjusted for different things - none of which appears to exactly match the wording used by NS&I!
Assuming inflation stays at the same level, what return can I expect if I buy an index-linked certificate?
