英格兰银行预测,9月份的通货膨胀率为4%,这可能导致明年根据三重锁定规则,国家养恤金增加478英镑。 The Bank of England predicts a 4% inflation rate in September, which could lead to a £478 increase in State Pensions next year under the triple lock rule. 这项规则确保养恤金按工资增长、通货膨胀或2.5%的最高比率增加。 This rule ensures pension increases by the highest of wage growth, inflation, or 2.5%. 然而,这可能使政府费用为450万受援者增加21亿英镑,从而有可能增加税收,弥补510亿英镑的公共财政赤字。 However, this could raise government costs by £2.1 billion for 4.5 million recipients, potentially leading to tax increases to cover a £51 billion deficit in public finances.
