1.7%的英国通货膨胀率在三年内首次低于英格兰银行2%的目标。 1.7% UK inflation drops below Bank of England's 2% target for the first time in 3 years.

最近英国的通货膨胀率降至1.7%,三年多来首次低于英格兰银行2%的目标。 Recent inflation in the UK has dropped to 1.7%, below the Bank of England's 2% target for the first time in over three years. 虽然这一下降可能稳定公共财政和减少福利支出,但对低收入福利领取者构成挑战,因为其成本主要由粮食和能源驱动。 While this decline may stabilize public finances and reduce welfare spending, it poses challenges for low-income benefit recipients, as their costs are primarily driven by food and energy. 此外,由于修订工资增长数据,国家养恤金可能会大幅增加,明年4月政府开支可能会增加1亿英镑。 Additionally, state pensions may increase significantly due to a revision in wage growth data, potentially adding £100 million to government expenses next April.
