Headline: Inflation Falls to 2.8% in February as Clothing Discounts Drive Unexpected Dip

Caption:

UK inflation fell more than expected in February, dropping to 2.8% from 3% in January, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The decline was largely driven by clothing and footwear prices, which fell for the first time since 2021 due to an unusually high number of sales.
