UK DATA
UK DATA: The ONS has announced that it used the wrong petrol and diesel price
data in the April RPI number.
- To 2dp, it would have been 3.07% Y/Y rather than 3.04% if the correct fuel
prices were used.
The ONS statement says:
- "A price of 122.75 pence per litre (PPL) for petrol and 132.08 PPL for diesel
were used. The correct values should have been 124.06 PPL for petrol and 132.96
PPL for diesel."
- "In line with the published revisions policy for consumer price inflation
statistics, this error will not be corrected in the published RPI series."
