英国零售商协会最新数据显示，2024年10月英国商店价格的同比通胀率攀升至2.1%，创下两年半以来的最高纪录 1。这一涨幅较9月的1.4%有明显扩大，表明零售企业正逐步将日益增加的经营成本转嫁给消费者 1。
该机构指出，能源费用、食品原材料成本的上涨以及中东冲突带来的连锁影响，共同推高了零售业的整体成本压力 1。面对持续上升的成本负担，零售商难以继续有效抑制商品价格上涨，英国零售商协会形象地描述当前局势为“大坝开始松动”（the dam is starting to break） 1。
The British Retail Consortium has reported that shop price inflation in the United Kingdom rose to 2.1% year-on-year in October, marking the highest level recorded in two and a half years and representing a significant increase from September's rate of 1.4%. 1 This data indicates that retailers are facing growing difficulties in suppressing price hikes, with the organization warning that cost pressures are beginning to break through into consumer prices. 1
According to the consortium, the surge in costs is driven by rising energy prices and more expensive food ingredients, factors that have been partially exacerbated by the conflict in the Middle East. 1 Highlighting the severity of the situation, the body stated that "the dam is starting to break," suggesting that businesses are increasingly passing these elevated input costs on to shoppers after previously managing to limit retail price increases. 1
