The data displays the percentage change on a year earlier of the Consumer Price Index in the UK from June 2016 to June 2018. The CPI rate is the most commonly used measure of inflation in the United Kingdom. Throughout late 2016 the rate of CPI growth was very low. However, the level of inflation began to increase in 2017 resulting in a CPI of 2.8% in September, October and November. The CPI rate in 2018 has decreased since 2017, reaching 2.3% in June of that year.
A growth in CPI is expected over the following years, according to quarterly UK inflation rate forecast.
