This week David Cunningham and Dave Tyrer discuss allll the things OCR! Like, how the latest 0.5% cut is likely to affect people. We all know that the OCR means interest rates go down, which is great for mortgage borrowers - but what about the flip side, savings accounts and term deposit rates will fall too.
