20.08.202506:00:00UTC+00UK Retail Price Index Remains Steady for July 2025

The United Kingdom's Retail Price Index (RPI) has shown no change for the month of July 2025, with the indicator remaining stable at 0.4%, according to the latest data update released on 20 August 2025. This marks a consistent result when compared month-over-month, as the same rate was recorded in June 2025.

This stability in the RPI suggests a period of steady consumer prices, as businesses and consumers alike experienced no significant inflationary pressures in July. This follows a similar pattern from the previous month, which recorded a month-over-month RPI at 0.4%, indicating no variation in retail inflation rates across consecutive months.

Economists and policymakers keenly observe the RPI, as it serves as a valuable measure of the change in cost of a basket of retail goods and services and can influence economic decisions. With the indicator holding steady, stakeholders across various sectors may interpret these figures as signaling a period of economic stability or stagnation, impacting forecasts and strategies moving forward into the latter half of the year.
