THE UK’s rate of inflation slowed again last month as the figure hit the Bank of England’s (BoE) target.
Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation stood at 2% in May according to fresh numbers from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
This is down from 2.3% in the 12 months to April, which marked the lowest level since July 2021.
It means inflation has hit the BoE’s target of 2% in a boost for the economy.
