UK inflation rises to 3.3% amid biggest jump in fuel prices in more than three years
UK annual inflation rose to 3.3% in March 2026, up from 3% in February, driven by the largest jump in fuel prices in over three years amid the Iran war, which also pushed up food and airfare costs. The Office for National Statistics reported the increase, with forecasters revising expectations to predict stubbornly high inflation this year (previously projected to drop near the 2% target) while the Bank of England holds interest rates steady, monitoring conflict-related energy market disruptions.
