20 Why is the rate of inflation in the UK so low? Falling global commodity prices including oil Slow wage growth in the labour market Falling food prices Continued price deflation in technology products Slower economic growth falling towards 2% Still some spare capacity on the supply- side
21 Why is inflation difficult to forecast accurately? Volatile global energy prices Forecast inflation for UK (source: BoE) Government indirect taxes can change Changes in value of the currency Volatile food prices Uncertain growth of aggregate demand The chart shows the UK CPI inflation forecast published by the Bank of England. The probability fan chart for inflation indicates the range of probabilities for inflation in the forecast period.
