This has to be an exceptional circumstance not sure what to do !

Analysts said that RPI was set to fall much further.

Colin Ellis, European economist at Daiwa Securities, said: "The record minimum for RPI since 1948 is -0.8 per cent in June 1959. It is only a matter of time before RPI sets a new record low on that front."
