UK inflation fell sharply in October to its lowest rate in two years, largely due to lower energy prices.
Inflation, which measures the rate at which consumer prices rise, dropped to 4.6% in the year to October, down from 6.7% the month before.
Economists have said the main reason inflation has fallen from its peak of 11.1% in October 2022 is due to a fall this month in the energy price cap, which limits what suppliers can charge consumers per unit of energy.
They also note the Bank of England's decision to raise interest rates, in a bid to cool demand in the UK economy and slow price rises. However food prices were little changed last month.
Over the past two years, the cost of energy has surged by 49% while food prices have risen by 28%.
