What is the UK's inflation target?
The UK government sets the Bank of England an inflation target of 2%. The story highlights Niesr's concern that inflation could stay above this target until 2030, a significant period of economic instability. Current UK inflation is 3.5%, driven higher by fuel costs, making the 2% target a distant goal.
