Download How Christmas spending is changing
Festive spending habits are changing, with many, especially younger shoppers, predicted to cut back.
We look at what’s driving the shift, the impact on retail, and how artificial intelligence is starting to shape the way shoppers choose gifts and search for lower prices.
Plus - we hear from members of the World Service audience on what their holiday spending priorities are.
