“This year has been a year of contrasting moods. It was welcome to see signs of recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, but that sense of optimism has been replaced by new challenges including inflationary pressure, international conflict and a worsening cost of living crisis that is now having an impact on so many lives.”
“The result is that investor confidence has fallen significantly.”
