 TESSAS TO BOOST ECONOMY IN Q1          
                                        
 Consumer spending power looks set to be
 boosted by £7bn in the first few months
 of next year as investors enjoy the    
 benefits of maturing TESSAs.           
                                        
 Shopo sales could jump 20% in the first
 quarter, says IFA Promotion, which     
 promotes indjpjndjnt financial advice. 
                                        
 It said £18.74bn of TESSA deposits were
 dui to mature with an additional       
 interest payment of about £5.21bn.
