CPIH in the UK 2000-2024

As of the third quarter of 2024, the CPIH index in the United Kingdom was 133.3 indicating that consumer goods and services had increased in price by 33.3 percent when compared with the baseline year of 2015. In September 2024, the CPIH inflation rate was 2.6 percent, down from 3.1 percent in the previous month. The CPIH index is the consumer price index, which also includes costs related to owning and maintaining a home. The other two main indicators of inflation in the UK are the consumer price index (CPI) and retail price index (RPI), which had rates of 1.7 and 2.7 percent in September 2024, respectively. Inflation falls throughout 2023After reaching a peak of 9.6 percent in October 2022, the CPIH inflation rate fell at the end of that year, and into 2023. Despite this, inflation remained at elevated levels for most of 2023. Although the decline in energy inflation led to a significant fall in prices early in the year, other aspects of inflation, such as food prices remained high for a longer period. Heading into 2024, inflation in the UK is still quite high across many sectors, indicated by the recent high core inflation (inflation excluding food and energy prices) rates reported in 2023. In response to this high inflation, the Bank of England steadily increased its interest rate throughout 2022 and 2023. Although this may have helped put the brakes on inflation, it is possible it worsened the UK's economic prospects last year.UK economy shrinks in second half of 2023Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK's economic performance has been lackluster. Although the economy bounced back from the initial drop in GDP caused by lockdowns, it has alternated between months of low growth and declines in GDP since 2021. In the last two quarters of 2023, the UK economy shrank by 0.1 percent, and then by 0.3 percent. As a result, the UK economy officially ended 2023 in a technical recession. With the next UK election around the corner, the UK's economic problems will likely be one of the main issues that determines who will form the next government. As of February 2024, the economy is seen as one of the most important issue facing the country by 50 percent of people in Great Britain.

截至2024年第三季度，英国消费者价格指数调和（CPIH）为133.3，相较于基准年份2015年，消费者商品和服务价格上升了33.3%。2024年9月，CPIH的通货膨胀率为2.6%，较上一个月的3.1%有所下降。CPIH指数作为消费者价格指数，同时涵盖了与拥有和维护住房相关的成本。在英国，其他两个主要的通货膨胀指标为消费者价格指数（CPI）和零售价格指数（RPI），2024年9月，它们的比率分别为1.7%和2.7%。2023年，通货膨胀率自2022年10月达到9.6%的峰值后开始下降，尽管如此，通货膨胀在2023年大部分时间仍处于较高水平。尽管能源通货膨胀的下降导致年初价格显著下降，但其他方面的通货膨胀，如食品价格，在较长时间内保持高位。进入2024年，英国众多领域的通货膨胀仍然较高，这由2023年报告的高核心通货膨胀（不包括食品和能源价格）率所体现。为应对高通货膨胀，英格兰银行在2022年和2023年期间稳步提高了其利率。尽管这可能有助于抑制通货膨胀，但它可能加剧了英国去年的经济前景。自COVID-19大流行以来，英国的经济表现一直不尽如人意。尽管经济从封锁导致的GDP初降中反弹，但自2021年以来，英国经济在低增长和GDP下降之间交替变化。2023年后两个季度，英国经济分别下降了0.1%和0.3%，因此，英国经济在技术上正式进入了衰退。随着下一场英国大选的临近，英国的经济问题很可能会成为决定下一届政府形成的主要问题之一。截至2024年2月，据50%的英国人认为，经济是国家面临的最重要问题之一。
