Dear Brokers,

Yesterday’s bombshell announcement of a rise in interest rates – when most economists were expecting the rate to stay unchanged – has taken some by surprise. Will the rate hike curb consumer spending and reduce debt? No one knows for sure, but if it doesn’t, there is likely to be another hike, and then another until consumer spending is back within limits. What this means for brokers is that we should all be looking for ways to improve our business profitability. And really, what better way than with the support of FSP Solutions and our great team of partners.
