No 114: More bad

EARLIER this week new inflation numbers were announced.

CPI increased from 3% to 3.4%, and RPI from 3.7% to 4.4%.

Probable causes of this are higher oil prices, a stronger dollar, and the rise in VAT this January from 15% to 17.5%.

Does this mean that the Bank of England should raise the base rate?
