Inflation at three year high

Jersey's Inflation rate is at a three year high.

In the 12 months up to September 2011 it stands at 5.4%.

That's slightly below the UK rate of 5.6%.

But much higher than Guernsey's, which is a modest 3.5%.

Jersey's rapid rise is blamed on the cost of motoring - which has gone up by 11%, and food - which has gone up 8%.

jersey of course have GST which if taken out of the equation would mean guernseys is def higher than theirs
