mpc: 22 Excluding oil, goods import prices had risen at annual rate of 1¾% so far this year, the fastest
rate of increase for some time. There had been some signs of a moderation in producer input price
inflation in September, partly related to oil price effects. In contrast, the CIPS survey index of
manufacturing input prices had risen further in October. The moderation in measured input prices had
yet to be seen in output price inflation to a significant degree.
