Mortgage deals are being pulled and replaced by ones with higher and higher rates, while later this week we also get inflation data and another decision from the Bank of England on mortgage rates. Sean Farrington is joined by KPMG's chief economist Yael Selfin to answer any questions about how this could all affect the economy. Mortgages aren't the only expense increasing - the Association of British Insurers say on average car insurance premiums were up 16% in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2022. Sean finds out what's behind the rise. Plus, with the FIFA World Cup 2023 just a month away, we hear all about the money involved in putting together the hugely popular women's tournament in Australia this year.
