Ashford says taking latest inflation rate apart is revealing
Rising energy prices are playing a role in boosting inflation rates on the Isle of Man.
This is something that's been emphasised by Treasury Minister, David Ashford.
The figure was 6.4% for January 2022, up from 6% the previous month.
Petrol and oil went up 23% whilst gas saw a 19.1% hike over 12 months.
Speaking on Manx Radio's Agenda programme, Mr Ashford says taking that figure apart is revealing:
