Andrew Bailey explains today’s decision on interest rates. Inflation has fallen a lot in recent months, and we think it will continue to do so. That’s welcome news. But there is no room for complacency.

Inflation is falling. That’s good news. We now need to ensure it falls all the way back to our 2% target and stays there. That’s why we’ve raised rates to 5.25% today. Andrew Bailey sets out more on the interest rate decision below.

We expect inflation to fall further this year, to around 5%, and meet our 2% target by early 2025. b-o-e.uk/MPR-Aug2023 #MonetaryPolicyReport #inflation

Higher interest rates make it more expensive to borrow money. Higher borrowing costs are difficult for many people - but if we do not raise rates, high inflation will last longer and make things worse. b-o-e.uk/MPR-Aug2023 #MonetaryPolicyReport

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

We expect inflation to fall quickly this year. It’s our job to make sure that inflation returns to our 2% target. Low and stable inflation is vital for a healthy economy. b-o-e.uk/MPR-May2023 #MonetaryPolicyReport #inflation

Andrew👇 explaining the actions we have taken today on Monetary Policy and in the recent week on Financial Stability….. AG
Andrew Bailey explains why we have raised rates by 0.25% today. Inflation is still too high, but we continue to expect it to fall sharply from the middle of this year. Raising interest rates is the best way we have of making sure that happens.
