"The war in the Middle East is impacting on inflation worldwide, not just here at home. In our bills, our weekly shop and at the petrol pumps."

"Rising crude oil and petrol prices increased both the annual cost of raw materials and the price of goods leaving factories respectively."

— Grant Fitzner , Academic

"Things are down. We've got lots of pressure on us at the moment. I'd say we're about 20% down on this time last year."

— Goran Raven , Executive
