The figure is now at the highest level since March 1982, when it also stood at the same level.
“On a monthly basis, consumer price index rose by 0.7% in May 2022, compared with a rise of 0.6% in May 2021,” the Office for National Statistics said.
“Rising prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages, compared with falls a year ago, resulted in the largest upward contribution to the change in both the CPIH and CPI 12-month inflation rates between April and May 2022,” the office noted. (ILKHA)
