Latest BRC-Nielsen shop price index data
Inflation dips in December but UK households still feel squeeze
UK inflation dipped in December but remains at one of the highest levels since records began as the cost-of-living crisis continues.
Data: BRC-Nielsen shop price index
The BRC-Nielsen Shop Price Index is a monthly measure of inflation across the UK. The data assesses the change in price of 500 commonly bought products to provide analysis around retail-specific and economy-wide inflation. The index separates grocery prices from other categories to paint a true picture and how food price inflation compares to that of non-food items. There are fears that British consumers could face rising prices in the coming years as a result of rising global food prices, shipping costs and Brexit red tape.
