脱欧致英国家庭荷包缩水 年均少收400镑

UKeng.com/tags-1558-0.html" target="_blank" >Britain households are worse off as a result of inflation caused by the Brexit vote, a research group has claimed.

一个研究小组声称，脱欧公投所引发的通货膨胀致使英国家庭的状况每况愈下。

A report from the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) says the average household is paying 404 pounds-a-year extra on food and household items due to rising prices.

经济表现中心的一份报告称，由于物价上涨，普通家庭每年在食品和家居用品上要多花404英镑。

After the referendum vote, the falling value of the pound in comparison with most other currencies has seen the cost of many imports increased.

进行脱欧公投后，相较大部分其他币种英镑有所贬值，使得许多进口物品的费用出现上涨。

The CEP said the impact of the price increases is equivalent to a ￡448 cut in annual pay for the average worker.

该中心称，价格上涨带来的影响相当于普通工人的年薪减少了448英镑。

The report found the greatest price rises have affected product groups which rely heavily on imports, including bread, cereals, milk, tea and coffee, beer and wine, jewelry, and furniture and furnishings.

该报告发现，这场规模最大的价格上涨影响了面包、谷物、牛奶、查核咖啡、啤酒和白酒、珠宝和家装等严重依赖进口的产品品类。

Thomas Sampson, who co-wrote the research, said: "Our results provide compelling evidence that, so far, UK households are paying an economic price for voting to leave the EU."

合写这项研究的托马斯·桑普森称：“截至目前，英国家庭正在为脱欧公投付出经济代价，我们的结果为此提供了有力的证据。”
