Why this month's inflation figure may be good news for you
The latest inflation figures show a 3.2% rise in prices over the past year, above the Bank of England's target of 2%. However, there are signs that price increases are slowing down, especially in essentials like food, benefiting those facing financial strain. The decreasing inflation rate could lead to lower borrowing costs, though it might impact savings negatively. Policymakers are advocating for investments in stocks and shares for potentially higher returns, especially as inflation rates stabilize.
