mpc: 29 There were some other signs that oil prices had been responsible for at least part of the rise in
CPI inflation. The rate of increase of prices of domestically produced output, excluding petroleum
products, had been stable. However, the prices of imported goods partly reflecting oil and
commodity price increases had accelerated. The rate of inflation for consumer services likely
overall to be less oil-intensive than goods had been increasing steadily.
