Japan raises interest rates to 31-year high as central bankers fight inflation; retail sales rise in Great Britain – business live

The troubled baby products group said it was a “heavy blow” for the firm and has now launched an urgent strategic review, adding that it has sufficient resources to trade for “a number of months” “Whilst our recent financial performance has been resilient, this is a heavy blow to the Mothercare business and our stakeholders.

There could be various possibilities. We shouldn’t rule anything out.“ “We’re at a phase where we need to look at various data carefully. But tha
