* UK inflation: forecast to be around 2% over the next five years, down from a peak of 11.1% in October 2022.
* Average disposable income: expected to grow between 0.6% and 0.9% each year between 2026 and 2030, with real household disposable income reaching £26,900 per person by 2030.
* UK house prices: forecast to rise between 2.4% and 2.9% each year between 2026 and 2030, broadly in line with the rise in average incomes. Note that these forecasts were made before the recent conflict in the Middle East and may be subject to change due to unforeseen events.
