The governor of the Bank of England has listened to the concerns of Belfast businesses on a visit to the city as the UK economy faces up to one of its most difficult periods on record.
Andrew Bailey took centre stage at a business breakfast hosted by Belfast Chamber and attended by business leaders from a range of sectors.
The visit comes days after the bank chief warned that consumers in the UK face a historic shock to their incomes as a result of the hike in energy prices as a result of the war in Ukraine.
