Inflation set to fall

NEW figures are expected to show inflation continued to fall in January.

The headline CPI rate of inflation is forecast to fall below 4%, continuing the trend seen since it peaked at a three year high of 5.2% in September.

In launching a fresh round of quantitative easing last week, the Monetary Policy Committee  expressed concern that inflation could be pushed below the Bank of England’s 2% target.
