As Reuters reported yesterday:
The Bank of England might wait until the middle of next year before cutting interest rates from their current 15-year high, the BoE’s Chief Economist Huw Pill said on Monday.
Pill said pricing in financial markets – that currently points to a first rate cut to Bank Rate in August 2024 – “doesn’t seem totally unreasonable, at least to me.”
I have already noted government plans to autocratise the police and make them an instrument for party political gain this morning.
I suspect they have no need for such a plan in the case of the Bank of England: it seems likely that they voluntarily serve Tory party interests. It is hard to interpret this unnecessary comment in any other way, given that the timing would be perfect for a Tory pre-election boost.
I hate to be cynical, but sometimes you just have to be.
