The monthly rise in sales was the first since August. But over the three months to November, volumes were up by only 0.3%, the weakest performance since the…

Britain’s water regulator said it would allow bills to rise by just over a third in the next five years to fund a higher level of investment than originally planned, with the aim of fixing the country’s broken water sector. The average increase of 36% before inflation, equivalent to a 31 pound ($39.18) a year increase over five years, compares to the 44% average requested by companies and the 21% the regulator had proposed in July. The pumping of raw sewage into rivers and seas has become a major scandal in Britain, with privatised water companies accused of prioritising dividends…

The Bank of England looks set to hold interest rates at 4.75% on Thursday, despite signs of a slowing economy, as persistent inflation pressures limit it to a “gradual” approach towards cutting borrowing costs. All 71 economists polled by Reuters said rates would stay unchanged for now. Most expect a quarter-point cut only on Feb. 6 after its next meeting, followed by three more cuts by the end of 2025.

Investors late on Wednesday priced in…
