Government must respond to low inflation with increased investment to secure recovery, says TUC

19 January 2016

Commenting on the latest inflation figures published today (Tuesday), which show Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation has risen slightly to 0.2%, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

“Continuing low inflation and a slowdown in growth show the recovery is becoming more vulnerable. The government can’t just cross their fingers and hope for the best. They must do more to secure our future economic strength through investment in skills, infrastructure and public sector pay growth.”
