Extract

One of the unusual features of the British economy in recent years has been the remarkable stability of inflation. RPIX inflation has not moved by more than half a percentage point of its 2½ per cent target since the end of 1996, suggesting that aggregate demand has been fairly close to supply throughout this period.
