Higher interest rates are helping to bring inflation down. This means the speed at which prices rise is slowing. We expect inflation to fall further this year. b-o-e.uk/MPR-Nov-2023 #inflation #MonetaryPolicyReport

We are starting to see some promising signs. Inflation has begun to fall, the economy is growing, and unemployment is low. But, inflation is still too high. We need to take action to make it fall further. b-o-e.uk/MPR-Aug2023 #inflation

BU on the "Bank of Mum and Dad". Estimates that:

ii) BoMaD boosts deposit 2.5-fold
iii) BoMaD assisted buyers buy larger houses + get 1st house 4 years earlier than other FTBs

Andrew Bailey sets out why we have raised rates by 0.25% today. The economy is doing better, but inflation is still too high. Raising interest rates is the best way we have of making sure inflation falls and stays low. b-o-e.uk/MPR-May2023
