An analysis on the rising cost of a family shop from a fall in the value of sterling. It was published as part of the UK Government's EU Referendum campaign in May 2016. The analysis showed that that a fall in the value of sterling of more than 10%, caused by uncertainty after a vote to leave, would put upward pressure on the price of imports – after two years this would push up the annual costs of everyday items by more than £220 for a family of four. |
