Easter fell in March this year and as a result, there should be an increase in

air travel CPI which has been noted before in the Easter months. MNI forecasts

suggest analysts anticipate an unchanged y/y growth rate in March compared to

February of 2.7%, with m/m growth down a touch from 0.4% to 0.3%. Core CPI

however is expected to PICK UP slightly from its previous y/y growth rate of

2.4% to 2.5%. UK Producer Prices are expected to see a slight increase in y/y

input price growth combined with a reduction in the y/y output growth. PPI

Output is expected to fall from 2.6% previously to 2.4% compared to an expected

increase of 1% in PPI input y/y growth to 4.4%.
