About this Episode

This week’s update examines the latest interest-rate decisions in the United States, United Kingdom and eurozone, alongside continued pressure from high government bond yields.

We also cover higher-than-expected UK government borrowing, proposed measures affecting tourist apartments and property tax in València and Alicante, new pension support and proposed income-tax reductions in Portugal, and the UK Government’s consultation on automatically consolidating certain small workplace pension pots.

Looking ahead, attention turns to President Xi Jinping’s visit to the United States, new US restrictions on selected Canadian imports and the approaching deadline for free BUPi land registration in Portugal.

Everyone’s circumstances are different. If these developments could affect your pensions, investments, property, borrowing, currency planning or plans to move abroad, you can book a complimentary, no-obligation meeting with a qualified Chase Buchanan adviser at: chasebuchanan.com/book
