U.K. Inflation Hike ‘Unsurprising’ Given April Cost Increases – Image Credit UKHospitality
Today, the ONS announced that inflation rose to 3.5% in April, a significant increase from 2.6% in March.
The figures are the first to reflect the significant cost increases to businesses and consumers in April.
Kate Nicholls, Chief Executive of UKHospitality, said: “This significant increase in inflation is unsurprising given the £3.4 billion in annual cost increases that hit hospitality in April.
“It’s clear that, on top of continuing hikes in utility prices, the raft of additional costs from the Budget, which came into force in April, is putting unsustainable cost pressure on already strapped businesses. Regrettably, that forces up prices and so fuels inflation.
“This strengthens the need to tackle the ongoing cost of doing business crisis. The Government must look to bring down costs for businesses and it’s critical that the Bank of England meets market expectations to lower interest rates in the coming months.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
