UK inflation dips below 10%

Lower fuel costs bring down headline figure, but underlying inflation remains strong

UK inflation

UK consumer price index (CPI) inflation has dipped below 10%, figures released today (September 14) show, offering some small relief to consumers.

The Office for National Statistics said a fall in the price of motor fuels was the main driver of the decline in the headline figure, which fell to 9.9% in August from 10.1% in July. Smaller rises in food prices and “miscellaneous goods and services” resulted in some offsetting upward pressure.
