The increase in inflation has been confirmed this morning after the Consumer Prices Index for the 12 months to September 2021 was revealed, with the rate of inflation for that period clocking in at 3.1 percent.
This will be a shock to many, with the Bank of England previously predicting that inflation would be higher than four percent for the year to September, after coming in at 3.2 percent for the 12 months to August.
