Inflation Rate in the United Kingdom decreased to 6.80 percent in July from 7.90 percent in June of 2023
@Noit Today’s wage growth numbers were healthier than expected (7.8% including bonuses, 8.2% excluding them).
The optimistic view is that a good drop in inflation would see real term wage growth for the first time in ages.
The pessimistic view is that if wage growth came in so much higher than expected, CPI inflation might come in higher as well…
