Millions of people in the UK were impoverished “overnight.” This is stated in the material of the Bloomberg agency.
According to the resource, the cost of food, heating and hot water in the UK has increased significantly. Thus, electricity prices in the country reached a record level. Now many Britons, as Bloomberg emphasizes, will face a choice – to save the family budget or pay for heating their homes.
Working Britons face a decrease in the purchasing power of their wages. The average electricity bill, for example, has increased by £693 on an annual basis, which is about 77,000 rubles.
Gas prices for the British have risen by 81% compared to the pre-sanctions period. Analysts interviewed by the publication are already calling what is happening the biggest price shock of our time.
