Anna Breman said it could take nine months for price increases caused by the war to filter through to supermarket shelves, and to expect higher inflation in the near term and weaker economic growth in 2026. Small business owners still recovering from tough economic times are nervous. Mark Knoff Thomas from the Newmarket Business Association spoke to Lisa Owen.
