RPI inflation slows down

Retail price inflation has slowed down. 


In June, the annual rate of inflation under the Retail Prices Index (RPI) was down to 3.5% from 3.7% the previous month. It was the first drop in 10 months in the inflation measure favoured by union negotiators. 


Inflation under the Consumer Prices Index Housing (CPIH) — now the government’s preferred measure — was down to 2.6% in June from 2.7% in May.
