The September release shows price growth picking up across all three measures. CPI increased from 3.1% in August to 3.5% in September; CPIH moved from 3.3% to 3.6%. Core CPIH rose from 2.9% to 3.1%.
These are annual inflation rates, not the cumulative increase in household bills. CPIH includes owner-occupiers’ housing costs. Core CPIH excludes energy, food, alcohol and tobacco, helping readers distinguish the broader price trend from those categories.
