ONS:

  • "Inflation fell markedly in January to its lowest annual rate since March last year, driven partly by a decrease in petrol prices".
  • "Airfares were another downward driver this month with prices dropping back following the increase in December. Lower food prices also helped push the rate down, particularly for bread and cereals and meat. These were partially offset by the cost of hotel stays and takeaways.
