Brexit: Consumer issues
NI CONSUMER FACES `DIP IN LIVING STANDARD’. Consumers could face rising costs post-Brexit, a retail expert has warned.
NI Retail Consortium director Aodhán Connolly said a no-deal Brexit would mean a rise in household costs.
Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster’s On Your Behalf, he said he had heard of a small amount of stockpiling, but advised people not to panic buy.
Mr Connolly was one of a panel of experts who addressed Brexit concerns at the Consumer Council’s consumer parliament in Belfast on Friday.
