The data displays the Retail Price Index (RPI) in the UK from 2000 to 2017. Over this 18 year period, the RPI rose to 272.5 points. With the exception of 2009 - which the
annual percentage change to RPI shows as a decrease - there was an increase in the index every year.
The UK Retail Price Index of services shows that there was also steady growth throughout this period, although this trend was not mirrored by the UK Retail Price Index of goods whereby there was some initial fluctuation which was then followed by substantial annual increases.
