A new survey of economists conducted by the Financial Times suggests that inflation in the UK will peak at 4.4% in 2027. The forecast comes amid ongoing economic uncertainty and rising concerns over price stability.
The survey reflects a consensus among economists that inflationary pressures, while still present, are expected to ease slightly from previous projections. However, the outlook remains cautious, with many experts warning that external factors such as global supply chain disruptions and energy price fluctuations could still impact the trajectory.
The 4.4% peak is seen as a moderate increase compared to recent trends, but economists emphasize that this figure could vary depending on policy responses and unforeseen economic shocks. The survey highlights the need for vigilant monitoring of inflation indicators in the coming months.
