Sky-high prices now baked into the economy despite inflation easing, unions say
The Bank of England in London, December 14, 2023
THE cost-of-living crisis continues for workers, Unite warned today after official figures revealed inflation figures fell by less than expected last month.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said inflation dropped by 0.2 per cent last month, largely driven by the slowest food price rises in two years.
The annual RPI inflation rate stood at 4.3 per cent and CPI at 3.2 per cent in March.
