Why has the Bank of England kept interest rates on hold – and is this the peak? MEAL MONEY
The Bank of England maintained its key interest rate today, pausing its aggressive series of interest rate hikes for the second month in a row.
The Monetary Policy Committee voted 6-3 to keep the interest rate at 5.25 percent. However, does this mean that the key interest rate has now reached its peak in this cycle?
We discuss whether tariffs could rise and what that means for you in the latest episode of our new show Lunch Money.
Simon Lambert is joined on today’s show by Lee Boyce from This is Money and Victoria Scholar, Head of Investment at Interactive Investor
