Inflation rise shows we are still in uncertain times

February 16, 2010 12:00 PM

Commenting on inflation rising to 3.5% in January, Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor, Vince Cable said:

"This figure is a stark reminder that despite the small growth in the economy at the end of last year we are still living in very uncertain times.

"The Bank of England's explanation of this as a temporary blip is welcome but there is a danger that inflation will stay high while growth remains low."
