Industry insights from Liz Edwards
We asked Liz about the key consumer trends in 2021
We're seeing younger generations invest like never before. The year kicked off with the Reddit-fuelled frenzy over GameStop shares, but there's a wider trend at play as well. Much of this has been driven by huge innovation among investing platforms and apps. Another key trend is the ever-receding dream of home-ownership. Those trying to get a foot on the property ladder have watched property prices soar during the pandemic, due in part of the stamp duty holiday. Lastly, we've seen buy now, pay later services continue to grow in popularity - and come under spotlight as the financial regulator seeks to put this type of debt on the same footing as other types.
