Jackie on BBC Business today to discuss UK Inflation Outlook
Summary
UK inflation is easing, but pressure on households remains as food prices stay elevated.
Speaking on BBC Business Today, Jackie Bowie, Managing Partner at Chatham Financial, noted that falling energy costs are driving lower headline inflation, while food prices continue to strain budgets.
Jackie Bowie, Chatham Financial said, adding that essentials now cost 30–35% more than in 2021.“Headline inflation has come down, but food price inflation remains stubbornly high,”
Looking ahead to the Bank of England’s December meeting, Bowie said a modest rate cut is possible but data-dependent. Structural factors, including wage growth and higher employer costs, mean inflation relief will be gradual rather than immediate.
Jackie Bowie, Chatham Financial“The eurozone brought inflation under control more quickly,” she said. “The UK is still catching up.”
