In a speech on Tuesday evening, the governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, said inflation would fall sharply in 2012 when the January 2011 rise in VAT dropped out of the data and the effect of past oil price rises started to fade.
The MPC minutes echoed this, saying that there was "little further upside news" on the outlook for inflation. In fact, the Bank was more concerned that without extra QE, that could fall below target.

The raw CPI numbers you posted don't tell the whole story. The methodology of *HOW* CPI is calculated has been changed a number of times over the years in order for the Gov't to hide inflation. The illusion of hedonics, the massaging of core.......and now just plain ignoring reality in the retail market. I could write a term paper on this but I'm done educating half-wits who post "there is very little evidence of significant inflation in developed economies."

Isn't India sort of in this chap's "part of the world". You'd think he'd know what's going on or wasn't this part covered in the Brisbane tabloids?  India’s Inflation Exceeds 9% for 11th Month, Reducing Scope for Rate Pause http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-11-14/india-s-inflation-exceeds-9-for-11th-month-reducing-scope-for-rate-pause.html And this is the Gov't released number, double that in the real world. I'm staring to hold my nose every time I log on, bennyboy is posting so much sh1t on here. |
