How does inflation affect the UK?
High inflation erodes the purchasing power of money, meaning goods and services become more expensive for everyone. It can also make UK exports more expensive for other countries, potentially harming trade. This can lead to a less stable economic environment and impact the UK's standing on the world stage.
