MPC likely to keep raising interest rates, says ex-member

A former member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has said further increases to interest rates may be necessary to stick to the 2% inflation target.

Martin Weale suggested: "I think the Monetary Policy Committee probably will want to continue to raise interest rates until they're clear that inflation, or some leading indicator of inflation like pay growth, has actually turned down." Report by Buseld.

Bank of England keeps interest rates on hold

The Bank of England has voted to keep interest rates unchanged, but showed what was perhaps the clearest sign in years that cuts could come in the months ahead. Bank governor Andrew Bailey said the economy is “not yet at the point” where rates can be lowered, but things are “moving in the right direction”. For the first time since September 2021, no-one on the nine-person decision-making body that sets interest rates voted for an increase. Report by Covellm.
