Introduction

Fuel is now more expensive. Petrol and diesel prices went up. This happened because oil is hard to move. Plane tickets also cost more money. Food prices rose too. Meat and sweets cost more. Some things were cheaper. Clothes and shoes cost less money. The Bank of England wants to help the economy. They might keep interest rates at 3.75 per cent. House prices are different in different places. Prices went up in the UK. But prices went down in central London. Some banks now have cheaper home loans. Energy bills will be lower in April.
