Episode description

Chancellor Rachel Reeves can probably breathe a small sigh of relief, as contrary to expectations, inflation has dropped. The rate came in at 2.5% for December, slightly lower than forecast.   
  
But does she have room to relax?  
  
On this episode Niall Paterson and our business correspondent Paul Kelso take stock of the figures, what they mean for Reeves, and the remaining challenges to the economy.
