Episode: UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Did Amazon increase inflation risks?'
Description: Online retailer Amazon denied reports it would publish the tariff impact on the price of each item sold on its US website.

Lack of transparency also risks consumers blaming tariffs for every price increase, reducing confidence and threatening growth.
