Get ready for exactly zero surprises.

High cost of living: Impact on households This briefing covers how the high period of inflation in the UK from 2021 to 2024 continues to affect household incomes, spending, poverty, savings and debt.

Inflation is back to around 2%, but high prices are still having an impact on households.

My Library briefing tracks the ongoing effect of high prices on household finances, mortgage rates, poverty and food bank use.
