UK Inflation Reaches 6-Month High Due to Rising Energy Costs

Reported 1 day ago

UK inflation surged to a six-month high of 2.3% in October, driven by higher domestic energy bills and persistently high inflation in the services sector. This upturn exceeds the Bank of England's target rate of 2%, leading to expectations that borrowing rates will remain steady despite recent increases. With the government announcing significant extra spending, economists foresee potential for continued inflationary pressures in the near future.
