Create an ISA with a variable saving rate that exceeds food price inflation
Create a special ISA for tax free saving that can be opened with £1 and has a lifespan of 2 years. Monthly deposit limit £1000 pcm with no minimum monthly pay in requirement. A variable saving rate that tracks year on year food inflation +3%. On months where money is withdrawn rate drops to just 3%.
The government wants us to reduce our spending in order to bring down inflation but the current approach just involves our money going to the banks through rising interest rates. Why not give us a proper incentive to actively reduce our spending and hold onto our money to stop it entering circulation? The ISA interest rate would be funded through a windfall tax on bank profits.
