The latest figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) today show that UK inflation rose to 2.9% in July, up from 2.6% in June.

Higher household energy costs were a significant factor behind the increase, following a rise in the energy price cap.

For the mortgage market, inflation is an important figure to watch because it forms part of the wider economic picture considered when interest rates are set.
The Bank of England base rate currently remains at 3.75%, meaning attention will now turn to how inflation and the wider economy develop over the coming months.

UK Chancellor John Healey says the British economy is "resilient" as he reacts to the rise in the inflation rate.
"Iran war inflation continues to impact prices here at home, but Britain’s economy is resilient," he says.
"We have cut VAT on electricity bills and capped bus fares at £2 – to give breathing space to those feeling the strain," Healey adds.
"There is more to do to restore hope and build a stronger economy where prosperity is shared more fairly across Britain."
