​As of February 2025, the UK’s annual Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation rate stands at 2.8%, a slight decrease from 3.0% in January. This rate remains above the Bank of England’s 2% target, indicating ongoing inflationary pressures.​

The broader measure, CPIH (which includes owner occupiers’ housing costs), recorded a 12-month rate of 3.7% in February 2025, down from 3.9% in January.

The Bank of England forecasts that inflation may rise to 3.7% by Q3 2025, influenced by factors such as wage growth, energy costs, and global trade tensions.
