That was on the news last night, so when you add all the other price increases it is over and above 3:8%

Never thought about this before but now that I have I realise I don’t know.

When the rate of inflation figure is talked of for what duration is it relating to. I mean is it per week, per month or an annual figure ?

There are 2 'price indexes'
Consumer price index and retail price index
Reading this link should explain the difference
National Statistics Online - Economic

but it leaves me clueless

All this on top of the term 'In real terms regarding the economy' (What the hell does that mean?) ...Petrol has not increased in price. Are they for real or do they think we are morons.

Cheers Margaret. Seems it’s an annual figure.

Looks like the 3.8% relates to the Consumer Price Index with an apparent rise of 0.7% on the month ( seems far higher to me as just about everyone else) That’s the figure the Bank of England is supposed to meet.

The Producer Price Index looks a bit gloomy. That’s running at an increase of 2.3% on the month which they say equates to 30.3% on the year….wait while that gets passed on to us as it no doubt will

I'm just assuming I'm reading things right, complex stuff innit

You have to love those “In real terms” statements don’t you. They need to get out of Whitehall a bit more often and take a look at reality.
