UK inflation rose sharply to 3.5% in April 2025 from 2.6% in March, the highest in over a year, driven by significant increases in energy, water, telecom, and tax-related costs.

Core inflation also climbed to 3.8%, while services inflation reached 5.4%.
Experts attribute the surge to April’s National Insurance and minimum wage hikes, warning of persistent inflationary pressures through the year.
