Inflation over 5%. for 22nd month in row

Their latest figures showed the overall rate for July was 5.8%-down from last month but the 22nd in a row it has been over 5%.

Inflation is high because of an increase in the cost of mortgage interest repayments, rents, electricity, gas and solid fuels.

These increases were partially offset by a reduction in prices for home-heating oil, the CSO said.
