Inflation means the general level of prices is rising over time, so the same amount of money buys less. This UK beginner guide explains purchasing power, the inflation rate, real versus nominal returns and why cash savings can lose value in real terms when interest trails inflation.
You’ll learn: • What inflation measures • How inflation affects everyday costs and savings • The difference between nominal and real returns • Why the Bank of England targets 2% inflation over the medium term • Practical factors to consider when planning a budget or savings goal
