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 ?

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 :o

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

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. :(
