Retail sales, borrowing and AI

October 20, 2023

On today's episode of the Ian King Business podcast, economist Simon French looks into how the unusually warm weather in September led to a larger-than-expected fall in retail sales.

Elsewhere, consumer confidence in the UK has suffered its biggest monthly drop since March 2020 - the month of the first Covid-19 lockdown.

Ian also looks at UK government borrowing, and the artificial intelligence company behind the chatbot ChatGPT is reportedly in talks with investors about a possible sale of employee shares.
