In February, inflation was 3%. In March, it rose to 3.3%. Petrol and diesel for cars are more expensive. This is because a sea path for ships is closed. Petrol now costs 158.1p per litre. Diesel costs 191.2p per litre. Heating oil prices rose by 90%. Plane tickets and some foods also cost more money. Rachel Reeves is a government leader. She says the war makes bills higher. Sir Mel Stride is another leader. He says the government's plans are bad. The Bank of England controls interest rates. These rates might stay at 3.75% or go up. This helps stop prices from rising. Some experts say families will lose £480 this year.
Conclusion
The war in the Middle East makes the UK economy unstable. Prices are not going down. The future depends on the war. If the war continues, energy and food will stay expensive.
