Consumer price inflation, UK: October 2019
What's in the bulletin?
- The Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (CPIH) 12-month inflation rate was 1.5% in October 2019, down from 1.7% in September 2019.
- The largest downward contribution to change in the CPIH 12-month inflation rate, between September and October 2019, came from electricity, gas and other fuels as a result of changes to the energy price cap.
- Further downward contributions from “furniture, household equipment and maintenance” and “recreation and culture” were partially offset by rises in clothing and footwear prices.
