“Management has observed more conservative and restrained consumer spending habits, as the global economy enters into what experts termed as a ‘polycrisis’, prompted by the coalescence of issues which include higher interest rates, inflation, banking crisis, climate change, the war in Ukraine and the intensifying polarisation of the world,” says the company.

Shares in Best World closed 5 cents or 2.53% down at $1.93 on May 9.
