Inflation remains high showing that the longstanding cost of living crisis continues says Usdaw
14 February 2024
Retail trade union Usdaw again calls on the Government to address the longstanding and continuing cost of living crisis, after today’s inflation figures show that, even on the Government’s preferred, and lower CPI measure of inflation, prices are rising at double the 2% target rate. The Retail Prices Index (RPI) rate, which is more reflective of Usdaw members’ experiences, dipped slightly to 4.9%, while the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rate remained at 4%.
