16.09.202606:00:00UTC+00UK August CPI Quickens to 0.5% MoM, Signalling Renewed Price Pressures

Consumer prices in the United Kingdom rose 0.5% month-over-month in August 2026, an acceleration from the 0.3% increase recorded in July 2026. The latest data, updated on 16 September 2026, indicate a pickup in inflationary momentum on a short-term basis.

On a month-over-month comparison, August’s “actual” figure of 0.5% reflects how prices changed from July to August. This follows the 0.3% “previous” monthly rise in July, which measured the change from June to July. The shift suggests that price growth has strengthened heading into late summer, a development that will be closely watched by market participants assessing the near-term inflation outlook and potential implications for monetary policy.
