UK inflation increased to 3.6% in June, after remaining at 3.4% in the 12 months to May, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has revealed.
The latest figure is the highest inflation rate recorded since January 2024, when consumer prices index (CPI) inflation reached 4%.
Month-on-month, CPI inflation jumped by 0.3% in June, compared to 0.1% in June 2024.
The ONS said that this inflation increase was driven by the transport sector, particularly motor fuels.
