A survey by the British Retail Consortium showed that two-thirds of British retailers expect to increase prices over the next year as a result of April&#8217;s employer tax increase, which continues to drive up costs.<\/p>\n<p>The survey found that retailers representing over 9000 stores found 85% increased prices after the government lifted National Insurance contributions and the national minimum wage. 65 predict further rises in the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>The BRC, which represents the UK&#8217;s largest retailers, forecasts that food inflation will be up 6% by the end of this year, adding more pressure to household budgets.<\/p>\n<p>The data comes ahead of the Bank of England&#8217;s interest rate decision in early August, when policymakers are expected to cut rates by 25 basis points, although a three-way split among policymakers is expected, which could increase could increase the uncertainty and conflicting risks posed to the UK economy by rising inflation and a weakening job market.<\/p>\n<p>The EUR is rising despite German inflation cooling below the European Central Bank&#8217;s 2% target for the first time in 10 months. Consumer prices rose 1.8% year on year, down from 2% in June. This was also below forecasts of 1.9%. The data support the view that the ECB has brought inflation under control.<\/p>\n<p>The data comes after French figures earlier showed the price increases of just 1% for the 6th month, while CPI in Italy dropped to 1.7%.<\/p>\n<p>ECB officials have become increasingly confident that inflation is under control and could even undershoot the 2% target for the extended period of time starting in Q3.<\/p>\n<p>The ECB left interest rates unchanged at 2% in the most recent meeting.
