UK inflation remained steady at 2.2 per cent in August, providing room for the Bank of England to potentially lower interest rates in the near future.

The annual inflation rate, as reported by the Office for National Statistics, was unchanged from the previous month and in line with economists’ expectations. Inflation has been slightly above the BoE’s target of 2 per cent for the past two months.

In response to the economic conditions, the Bank of England reduced interest rates by 0.25 percentage points to 5 per cent in August, marking the first rate cut in over four years. The Bank indicated its willingness to further decrease borrowing costs if inflation continues to ease.

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England is scheduled to announce its latest rate decision on Thursday. Despite the recent data, the Bank remains cautious about prematurely declaring victory over inflation.

Services inflation, a key indicator of domestic price pressures, slightly exceeded economists’ expectations at 5.6 per cent, up from 5.2 per cent in July. Core inflation, excluding volatile food and energy prices, rose to 3.6 per cent in August compared to 3.3 per cent in the previous month. Following the release of the data, the value of the pound increased slightly to $1.3178.

Darren Jones, chief secretary to the Treasury, commented on the situation, noting the challenges faced by families due to sustained high inflation. He emphasized the importance of managing inflation effectively to alleviate the financial burden on households.
