TV news anchor, “Bloomberg Markets Today" on Bloomberg, 7-9am London time. And Acting London Bureau Chief for Bloomberg
The "View from the Anchor Desk" was obscured by a large Swiss mountain this week, but fortunately it brought some fascinating coverage on the global and UK outlooks. But before all that - here's the latest instalment of the Bloomberg UK Breakfast Index, because this week was a UK inflation week. https://lnkd.in/engju72K Warning: this story contains a photo of an English Breakfast with both chips and beans, which some may find inexplicable, and offensive! Katie Linsell The TV and UK teams were busy on the ground in #Davos and here are just a couple of their fantastic efforts. From the Labour Party's mission to grab the spotlight https://lnkd.in/eSjXPnfy, thanks to Katherine Griffiths, Sabah Meddings and Joe Mayes, to Francine Lacqua's conversation with the Barclays CEO who talks about resilience in the City of London. https://lnkd.in/etwsQ5Ah While the Davos crowd were getting their skis on Tom Mackenzie brought us a great interview with the CEO of battery maker Northvolt which announced new funding. Peter Carlsson also told us any dip in EV sales is just a bump in the road. https://lnkd.in/e-4C6Uwk A nice curtain-raiser to the European car registration data, and news from Ford, which both cited fading demand for EVs. Lastly for this Friday here's another well-timed Bloomberg Originals video. This one asks why no one smokes in Sweden. https://lnkd.in/eJhXr6He Is the snus story really so simple, or have decades-old smoking regulations played a role? From Andy Hoffman and Jonas Ekblom. And if you thought this has little read across to the UK, take a look at the advertising at Camden Town tube.

SCOTT’S CHART OF THE WEEK This week is a break from the insolvency and restructuring based charts and a look at the annual growth in food price inflation in G7 economies for the 12 months to November 2023. Despite the recent reduction in inflation generally in the UK, food inflation continues to rank highest amongst the G7. This is partly due to the large percentage of food that is imported into the UK which has meant food prices are susceptible to both the additional costs in transportation and, in respect of EU imports, Brexit red tape. These drivers aren’t necessarily factors that interest rates can affect. Continually high food inflation could have an impact on businesses and consumers alike because of how this feeds into interest rates and rate cuts in 2024. It can impact disposable income and spending habits, such that even if rates were to be cut it may not transpire that discretionary spending in consumer markets is significantly boosted if consumers face spending more on basic items. By association, businesses in these sectors would be impacted. Additionally, high food inflation can negate reductions in inflation elsewhere. To me, there is the potential risk that if food inflation remains high, coupled with anticipated rises in owner occupied housing costs and rising energy bills, which will be exacerbated by energy costs being a significant driver of the current reduction in inflation, inflation picks up again. This could delay future rate cuts. This, in turn, can be a big issue for businesses as if interest rates remain high it can impact finance costs and the availability of finance. With a number of businesses likely to be seeking refinancing this year, higher rates could frustrate this process. #insolvency #businessrecovery #restructuring #turnaround #business #inflation #interestrates #accountant #london

Understanding the Impact of UK Recession on Food and Drink Businesses As a recession looms over the UK economy, it's crucial for food and drink businesses to prepare for the challenges ahead. A recession can profoundly affect this sector, influencing consumer spending habits, supply chain dynamics, and overall market stability. Key factors to consider: Consumer Behavior Shifts: During economic downturns, consumers often tighten their belts, opting for more affordable options and cutting back on discretionary spending. This shift can significantly impact food and beverage businesses, necessitating agile strategies to cater to changing demands. Supply Chain Disruptions: Economic instability can disrupt supply chains, leading to delays, shortages, and increased costs. Food manufacturers must proactively manage supply chain risks to ensure continuity of operations and mitigate potential disruptions. Credit Insurance as a Lifeline: In navigating these challenging times, credit insurance emerges as a valuable tool for businesses. By providing protection against customer insolvency and non-payment, credit insurance offers a financial safety net, enabling companies to trade with confidence amidst economic uncertainty. In such times, businesses must prioritize resilience and adaptability. By embracing innovative solutions and strategic risk management practices, food and drink companies can weather the storm and emerge stronger on the other side. #UKRecession #FoodIndustry #EconomicImpact #RiskManagement #BusinessResilience #CreditInsurance

Continuing to ride the inflationary wave… Those working in procurement and supply chain roles have had their work cut out battling high levels of price inflation over the past couple of years. Thankfully, things have cooled since mid-2022 as predicted, with producer costs decreasing in the past 6 months. If you haven’t already, now is the perfect time to jump on the following key activities to ride the wave as inflation continues to fall back: 1) Spend reviews – Understand which areas have seen ups, downs and volume changes to identify priority areas for improvement. 2) Inflation-linked agreements – Comb supply contracts for inflation-linked indices. Consider their mechanisms and timeframes to get commercial benefit. 3) Reverse Temporary Increases – Take stock of any temporary price increases and review if they are subject to decreases in the current climate. 4) Market testing – Remain extremely close to market dynamics, interact with a wide range of suppliers and run RFP/RFI/benchmarking processes where necessary. At Ivo Consulting Solutions, we have been helping clients get the most from their spend for over 20 years, providing valuable and pragmatic procurement advice and implementation support. If you would like to discuss any of the above topics and understand more about how we work with clients, please get in touch.
