UK output prices remained in negative territory in January, but were falling at the lowest prices since March 2020 - the start of the Covid-19 crisis. Output prices were lower by 0.2% year-on-year, the Office for National Statistics said Wednesday. At the lowest point in May, output prices were down 2.2% y/y.

Petroleum products remained the largest downward contributor to the annual rate of output inflation, whilst metals and non-metallic minerals provided the largest upward contribution to the annual rate of input inflation.
