On page four of the opening statement, I could not fully understand the statement, “While inflation has been slowing down ... permanent changes to the tax and welfare system have resulted in small average income losses...” I get that, although it is described as insignificant, basically, at 0.3% of disposable income , but I could not really get the phrase “compared to policy changes pegged to wage growth”.
