CPIH

This week we want to know if alternatives to CPI and RPI inflation measures should be developed for schemes and whether the government should limit how much investment risk NEST can take.

Schemes should stop debating whether to use the Retail Prices Index (RPI) or the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) and move to an entirely new measure, the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) has said.

UK CPI inflation fell further than expected in November to its lowest level since 2002, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

A new measure of inflation developed by the Office of National Statistics has had its official status downgraded a little over a year after it was first proposed.

The UK's headline inflation rate dropped to 1.7% in February, its lowest level since late 2009.

The consumer (CPI) and retail prices index (RPI) measures of inflation have hit their lowest levels since September 2012, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

The consumer prices index (CPI) fell from 2.8% to 2.7% in August, in line with economists' expectations, as falling transport costs pushed the headline figure down.

The consumer prices index (CPI) was unchanged at 2.8% in March, while the retail prices index (RPI) rose slightly to 3.3%, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
