Rising prices still a concern despite fall in inflation
The treasury minister insists the cost of living crisis remains a concern for the Isle of Man Government ahead of next year's budget.
The inflation rate on the Island has fallen in 2023 from 8% in January to 5.7% last month.
Last winter, government had to offer a number of support packages to help those impacted by rising costs.
Manx Radio asked Alex Allinson whether the drop in inflation means there's less of a focus on price rises:
