SME NewsCurrent Inflation Rate – CPI Static 09/07
CPI static at 1.8% in September 2007.
Data from the Office of National Statistics today show that the UK Consumer Price Index for September remained static at 1.8%, the same as recorded in August.
Downward pressure on the CPI came from tariff reductions in household utilities and slower increases in the price of clothing and footwear compared to a year go. Upward pressure was exerted from increases in the price of food and non-alcoholic beverages.
Retail Price Index inflation fell to 3.9% in September, down from 4.1% in the previous month. This fall was prompted by static mortgage interest payments as compared to a year go when lenders passed on a Bank of England bank rate increase.
