Statistics Jersey has released the latest Retail Prices Index (RPI) report, showing that prices in Jersey rose by 2.8% over the 12 months to June 2026. This represents a slight increase compared with the previous quarter (2.7%), with the annual rate of inflation up 0.1 percentage points (pp).
Key highlights:
- Jersey’s annual rate of inflation, as measured by the RPI, increased to 2.8%
- Jersey’s headline inflation rate was the same as the UK CPIH, which also increased by 2.8% over the same period
- several groups provided an upward contribution to the annual rate of inflation, most notably household services, fuel and light, motoring and food
- the food group increased by 3.5%, contributing +0.4 percentage points (pp) to the overall rate of inflation
- heating oil and other fuels increased by 53.5% over the year, while petrol and oil increased by 18.0%
Price collection for this report took place between 29 May and 19 June 2026. This period coincided with the continuing military action related to the Iran conflict, which began on 28 February 2026. The conflict has continued to affect global energy markets, contributing to movements in the prices of products such as heating oil and petrol. As the collection period took place several months after the start of the conflict, some of these impacts are reflected in this quarter’s figures, most notably in the substantial annual increases recorded for heating oil and motor fuels.
New web-based report prototype
As part of Statistics Jersey’s ongoing work to improve accessibility and modernise how statistics are published, a prototype web-based version of the Retail Prices Index report has been produced alongside the main publication.
The prototype demonstrates how this report could be presented in a more accessible, mobile-friendly and user-focused format, reducing reliance on PDF documents while making it easier to explore the data online.
Users are encouraged to view the prototype and provide feedback on the format and usability by emailing info@stats.je.
