Households face five price shocks as winter approaches

Households face a difficult winter as fuel, electricity and interest rates rise, SVT reports. The government’s relief package for households is also being phased out.

Global shortages of oil and gas, linked to the war in the Middle East, are adding to uncertainty. “We are in a very uncertain situation,” commodities analyst Christian Kopfer said.

SVT says a video accompanying the report outlines five potential financial blows to households.
