Like many of our readers, I’m the type of person who tunes in regularly to radio chat shows, current affairs programs, newspaper reports and financial magazines. 
 
I do my best to keep on top of how the global turbulence is affecting our governments, our house prices, our labour markets, our stock markets and our changing consumption habits.  

There are lots of commentators out there who seem very qualified and sound like they know what they’re talking about when discussing concepts like recapitalisation, debts, deficits & credit ratings and yet, with a few notable exceptions, when I’ve finished listening to them, I’ve usually forgotten what the question they were supposed to be answering was. 

Sound familiar? 

The BBC website has a great “jargon dictionary” for laymen. It can be viewed here if anybody would like to have a look.

 

Kind Regards
