UK inflation to hit 3.9% in early 2022, NIESR forecasts
British consumer price inflation will reach 3.9% early next year, almost double the Bank of England’s target, but should fall back to 2% the year after if the BoE begins to raise interest rates, a leading think tank forecast on Monday.
The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) also revised up its growth forecast for 2021 by 1.1 percentage points to 6.8% – broadly in with the most recent forecasts from the BoE and the International Monetary Fund.
After suffering its biggest economic slump in over 300 years in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, Britain’s economy has been recovering rapidly this year.
