Inflation, it's personal
In our latest blog we look at the reasons behind the cost of living increases.
We are in a period of high inflation of prices for goods and services. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows one of the inflation indices has increased by 6.2% in the 12 months to March 2022.
