LONDON (Reuters) – British inflation rose a little more than expected in January as the country went back into a coronavirus lockdown, official data showed on Wednesday.
Consumer prices rose 0.7 in annual terms after a 0.6% increase in December, the Office for National Statistics said.
A Reuters poll of economists had pointed to the annual rate remaining at 0.6%.
