12:19 pm
natasha and gary waterhouse have been supporting the conservative party, but they are disappointed before after sinking, abandon ship her. this is nope, the home steering is in the right direction. the school blend once themselves and the knots folks and the on the true thing. that's the photos the people of this country paper like natasha and gary who are unsure how to get through the coming winter. ringback offer more on this. i want to go now to susanna streeter. she's a senior markets analyst at hargrove's lands down the u. k. largest retail investment platform. susanna, thank you for joining. surely these higher energy costs mean consumers will be spending less in other areas. what do you predict? absolutely, and we're already seeing this, we got the latest death index from the british retail consortium. it snapshot shows that wash,

many shoppers have been doing is not actually buying essentials like school uniforms. so much that they had done in previous years. instead, they're ring fencing budget and they're spending on things like neat where to keep them warm during the winter and also energy devices such as air fries, which are likely to and use less energy at during the winter months. other be turning off their cookers and using these instead of calls that they can afford to make these purchases. so we're already saying this change in behavior. now interestingly to day we tell stalks have risen at the likes of next, which is the major clothing platform. and sportswear at company j. d. sports. there is an expectation that energy bills will be frozen and that could give consumers a bit more wiggle room when it comes to being able to afford more discretion reactions. however, remember that bills are likely only to be frozen at the current rate,
12:21 pm
which as there you are ported, pointed out to the red fall fowls and you rose, so already bill's gonna be sky high. so i think is very difficult. spending decisions will still have to be made certainly, well, very interesting consumer trends there. what do you think this means for the overall health of the economy in the u. k? well, i don't see it, sir. very promising is a pretty bleak outlook because even if these energy bills are frozen, although the situation shouldn't deteriorate further, it's going to mean that so many consumers will have a lot less money to spend. as that the going to be extremely cautious heading into the winter months. i sat me for some sac, his like retail hospitality, alicia. there are some pretty tough times ahead. i think looking at said the buddha mall k of cool. so if you've got higher energy prices that supports the energy john's of cools,
12:22 pm
and so that will be some support in terms of the stock market. but in terms of the overall economy, there are lots of question marks. it is trust that she wants to cat cut taxes as well. so that's that add to concerns about u. k. bull wrinkles as well because they've already been shooting up. i was, was on a street or from hargrove's land found. thank you thought now to some of the other global business stories making news. germany's volkswagen is preparing a partial public offering of its portia brand plan for later this year. the listing is expected to bring and billions that volkswagen aims to invest in strengthening its production of electric cars. batteries and software croatia has begun requiring businesses to display prices in both coon, up the national currency and the euro. or the new rule is aimed at preparing for crash, a switch to the euro on january 1st. and flyers will also be required to display wages and both currencies. germany will keep 2 of its 3 nuclear plants running.
