UK inflation hits new 40-year high as food prices rocket
LONDON: British inflation surged to a new 40-year high in July on soaring food prices, official data showed Wednesday (Aug 17), adding to a cost-of-living crisis as the country faces the prospect of recession.
The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) accelerated to 10.1 per cent last month from 9.4 per cent in June - itself a four-decade high - the Office for National Statistics said.
