The UK will cap household energy bills and set up a fund of up to £40 billion to help energy companies access extra liquidity as part of measures to fight the energy crisis.

Prime Minister Liz Truss announced the sweeping package on Thursday at a cost of billions of pounds to the Treasury. The government said the measures will boost economic growth and estimates it will reduce inflation by 4 to 5 percentage points.
