Inflation surprises and jumps to 3.2%
By Daniel Pimlott, Economics Reporter
UK inflation defied expectations to rise in February for the first time in five months, triggering another exchange of letters between Mervyn King, governor of the Bank of England, and Alistair Darling, chancellor.
Inflation as measured by the consumer price index rose to 3.2 per cent in the year to last month, up from 3 per cent in January, and still more than 1 percentage point above the Bank’s target rate.

Como o elefante de nenufar em nenufar lá vão os 'génios' do milagre economico de surpresa em surpresa...
Não seria previsivel que os bens alimentares iam subir de preço?
A oferta está a diminuir (cheias, secas, biofuel).
Maior procura na India e, sobretudo, na China.
Surpresa?????????
