The Last 5 Major Uk Recessions

In the next few months I think it will remain stubbornly high - that's around 5% on the heavily massaged (to be as low as possible) CPI.
Remember - inflation staying the same just means prices aren't going up at a faster rate, they are still going up.
Tell me - when do you envisage real world prices actually starting to fall across the board to less than where they were they were a year ago?

Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.0 -
:wall: The rising cost of imported goods due to a collapsing pound :wall:
!!!!!!? how do you define "inflation"? It seems to be only in relation to the CPI or RPI you seem to ignore "money supply & credit circulating in the economy" in your definition?
Almost all analysts agree that if there is not an improvement in liquidity then the UK will suffer from massive deflation from the impact of massively falling money supply. I'm not sure that if a packet of cornflakes goes up 2p that this matters, IMHO.

That is what we are trying to avoid.
Given that people's incomes haven't gone up by anything like as much as prices have, just how much do you want to see prices continue to go up by then?
Because that is what we are going to see - a widening gap between income and prices.
People getting measurably and noticeably poorer; All the more so when you take the burden of paying back all that money they borrowed from future income out of their salary.--

Oh it must have been my car the tank must have shrunk.:rolleyes: My end of October price was cheaper to fill up!
The average is always going to look less if prices are going up and opposit on the way down.:rolleyes:
Considering it takes up to 3 months for drops and increases to go through the system you are totaly for inflation going through the floor then.;)0 -
