03 Jul 2019 --- UK shop prices have turned deflationary for the first time since October 2018, falling by 0.1 percent, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC)-Nielsen Shop Price Index for June 2019. Although the head of the BRC recognizes the slight dip as a relief for consumers who have faced several months of inflation, Chief Executive Helen Dickinson warns that a no-deal Brexit would hinder retailers’ abilities to continue to contain prices, as checks and delays would raise the cost of doing business.
