The Bank of England that has already hinted it’s already approaching its first rate lift in a decade, is actually expecting a jump in spending.
As the BRC told, in August, growth in total sales the previous month slowed modestly to about 2.3% from 2.4% percent, although was still stronger than in most months so far in 2017.
