UK inflation has continued to fall with the Office for National Statistics saying Wednesday that the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rose by 3.2% in the 12 months to March 2025, down from 3.4% in February.
On a month-on-month basis, CPI rose by 0.6% in March, with the largest downward contribution coming from food as prices rose by less than a year ago.
Core CPI (excluding energy, food, alcohol and tobacco) rose by 4.2% in the 12 months to March 2025, down from 4.5% in February.
Prices of clothing and footwear continued to rise last month, this time by 3.9% on an annual basis, down from 5% the previous month. That lower increase came as discounting continued in the sector to balance higher prices on some goods, despite March being mainly about new spring season stock.
The rate in March was the lowest since November 2025 and on a monthly basis, prices rose by 0.6% between February and March 2025, compared with a rise of 1.6% a year ago.
The ONS said that this “reflects the incidence of discounting in the dataset, which fell by less this year than a year ago. Prices tend to rise between February and March as new season stock continues to enter the shops but the rise in 2025 was less than in most recent years”.
The downward effect came principally from womenswear and footwear, with prices rising on the month but by less than a year ago.
