UK inflation slows to central bank's 2% target

Britain's annual inflation rate slowed in May to the central bank's two-percent target, official data showed Wednesday, giving Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's struggling election campaign a boost.

After peaking at 11.1 percent in October 2022, consumer price growth has cooled following a series of interest-rate hikes by the Bank of England.
