UK Retail Price Index Year-on-Year for October 2025: Positive for GBP

The UK Office for National Statistics released the year-on-year Retail Price Index (RPI) data for October on September 17, 2025. Actual, forecast, and previous values were not provided.Data Definition: The Retail Price Index reflects the trend and magnitude of changes in retail prices of goods over a specific period. Although this indicator was once widely used to measure inflationary pressure in the UK, it has since been replaced by the Consumer Price Index and its market influence has diminished. Nevertheless, rising retail prices generally signal inflationary pressure, which may prompt the Bank of England to adopt more restrictive monetary policy, thereby having a positive impact on GBP performance.This data is considered moderately important (importance level 2). The calculation methodology involves tracking changes in retail prices to determine both monthly and annual rates. The data is published monthly, with the next release scheduled for December 17, 2025.
