Britain's annual inflation rate slowed sharply last month as clothing retailers slashed prices in the pandemic-hit sector, official data showed Wednesday, but economists warned it will likely rise again.

The rate had soared in June to a near three-year peak of 2.5 percent as prices had accelerated on easing coronavirus restrictions. Last month’s slowdown was partly due to the clothing sector, where price growth stood at 1.7 percent after a 3.0-percent bounce in June. Despite the July slowdown, most economists predict prices will accelerate further as the global economic recovery gathers pace.
