The Isle of Man’s inflation rate has shot up.

The figure, measured by the consumer prices index, for September was 5% - up 1.9% from the month before.

One of the big changes has been in the petrol and oil category, where the rise was 17.1%

In a separate category, oil and other fuels the rise was 46.1% in the last 12 months.

Air travel soared by 68% - but the figure is likely to have been warped because of Covid restrictions last year.

In comparison, sea travel rose by only 1%.

The inflation figure is the highest for almost 10 years.
