In an update on its monitoring of the fuel market, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said the cost to all motorists from the previously identified increase in retail fuel margins since 2019 was over £1.6bn in 2023 alone.

Jetmaking industrial problems overshadow orders at damp air show

Britain's Farnborough Airshow opened earlier this week amid alarm signals from airlines over falling yields or average fares.

Thailand car production drops sharply in June, local sales fall
Car production in Thailand fell 20.11% in June from a year earlier due to tighter financing rules and high consumer debt, and full-year production is now expected to be lower than in 2023, the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) said on Thursday. In the January-June period, car production contracted 17.39% from a year earlier to 761,240 units, the federation said. "Stricter measures for credit approval from financial institutions, coupled with household debt that was nearing 90% of GDP, led to a higher rejection rate for auto loans," Surapong Paisitpattanapong, spokesman of the FTI's automotive industry division, told a news briefing.
