Inflation

Inflation describes how much prices of goods and services are increasing (if they’re decreasing, this is known as deflation). In the UK the main measure of inflation is the Consumer Prices Index. The Office for National Statistics tracks the cost of living through the prices of items in a hypothetical “basket of goods” that includes everyday products and services.
