Laith Khalaf, head of Investment Analysis at Aj Bell , said that The Freeze will add to " an unholy cocktail of pressures on households" including " higher taxes, rising prices, and bigger mortgage payments".
" This all limits their ability to spend money, which has a knock on effect on the economy at large, and is a significant contributing factor to flatlining growth, " He Said .
