How rising inflation will impact the UK economy in 2025
Dec 19, 2024
The spike in inflation to 2.6 per cent today has raised questions about the health of the UK economy, according to analysts.
The news comes ahead of the Bank of England’s meeting to decide the path of interest rates tomorrow, with markets agreeing that combined with higher-than-expected wage growth yesterday, a cut is off the table.
“Having fallen to just 1.7 per cent back in September, the strengthening inflationary pressures will dismay rate-setters ahead of their meeting tomorrow,” said Jeremy Batstone-Carr, European strategist at Raymond James.
The latest uptick in inflation was largely driven by price falls in fuel and underlying goods prices in November 2023 dropping out of the annualised calculation.
