Government RPI for December 2009
In the year to December 2009, RPI annual inflation was 2.4%, up from 0.3% in November. The last time there was an increase in the 12-month rate greater than 2.1% between two months was in June and July 1979 when the rate increased from 11.4% to 15.6%.
So we expect that 2.4% will apply to BBC Pensions. An improvement on last year's 0.9%.
The State Pension normally uses the September RPI figure; this time it was neg. -1.4%! However, Darling has promised 2.5% minimum which will apply from April this year.

The next AGM will take place on Thursday, April 22nd at the Friends' Meeting House, Euston Road, London N1, starting at 2.00 pm.
