The Consumer Financial Decisions (CFD) group's Products and Services Analysis Volume for the 2002–03 MacroMonitor program covers the full range of retail and institutional household financial products and services. The five major sections correspond to the five basic financial needs: transactions, savings and investments, credit, protection, and information and advice. Each section presents information about products and services that serve one of those basic financial needs. The product subsections provide key product statistics, executive summaries, and analysis of survey results using CFD's proprietary Age Cohort, Socioeconomic Level, and Life Stage segmentation schemes (see Appendix F for segment definitions). We include data from the 1998–99 and 2000–01 MacroMonitor, where comparable.
