FX.co ★ UK CPI Edges Higher in September, Signalling Persistent Price Pressures

The United Kingdom’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), not seasonally adjusted, inched up in September 2026, underscoring ongoing inflationary pressures in the economy. The index rose to 144.10, up from 143.60 in August 2026.

The data, last updated on 21 October 2026, shows that while the month-on-month increase is modest, prices continued to climb heading into the final quarter of the year. The September reading suggests that cost pressures remain embedded across the economy, a key consideration for investors and policymakers monitoring the trajectory of inflation and its potential impact on interest rate expectations and consumer spending.
