Inflation rose to 3.4% in September as fuel prices climbed

Prices were 3.4% higher in September than a year earlier.

That was a small increase from August, when inflation was 3.3%.

Petrol and diesel prices rose sharply, making the increase especially noticeable for drivers.

Inflation measures how much the prices of goods and services rise over time.

The latest figures show prices are still rising, rather than falling.

No further developments or next steps are stated.
