The BoE interest rate will be near zero for another decade. This 2% inflation target is meaningless really as they won't risk raising rates triggering a recession. Even if it only lasted a few months.
Rising inflation due the falling value in Sterling is an excuse for the BoE not to raise rates as it's only 'temporary'. When that's resolved there will be another reason as it's been going on since 2008. Surely the interest rates should be automatically linked to inflation and not protecting banks and debtors...
Oh and if they take in all costs not just food and everyday expenses, then in reality it's probably already above 5%.Comment
