Liz Truss remarked this morning in reference to the cost of living: “Inflation is predicted to peak, so we do know that inflation will come down.”

The Bank of England has stated that. When the entire effect of the most recent increases in energy prices reaches families, it anticipates inflation to reach 13.1% this winter.

The top, according to economists, could actually be considerably higher. According to US investment firm Citigroup, it would rise to 18%, which would be a record high for almost 50 years. It should be emphasized that while consultant firm EY-Parthenon also forecasts strong inflation, at 15.4%, Citi’s prognosis is on the more aggressive side.
