Minister says gov't aware of 'real risk' inflation is posing
The Treasury Minister says the Island must prepare for increased cost pressures this coming winter.
Dr Alex Allinson has reiterated government is aware that inflation remains a 'real risk' to people's livelihoods.
Inflation locally did fall to 8.1 per cent in May, but officials have warned it may only be a 'temporary lull'.
Dr Allinson says global factors such as the conflict in Ukraine and 'tail events' of Covid-19 are still having a knock-on effect on worldwide costs:
Mountain Road reopens
Patients 'strongly satisfied' with virtual GP pilot
New electrical vehicle training course powers up at UCM
Island to mark the golden anniversary of the Millennium of Tynwald
Onchan Commissioners open 'expressions of interest' for future social housing projects
