Consumer price inflation, UK: August 2026

GBP · GB · Inflation

About this release

Tracks changes in consumer or producer prices for goods and services. Inflation prints can shift rate expectations and currency valuation, especially when they surprise relative to the previous reading. For GBP, Higher-than-expected inflation often supports a firmer currency if markets price tighter policy, while softer inflation can weigh on it — context matters.
