Summary
The Bank of England has surprised investors by raising interest rates to 5% as part of its ongoing effort to curb inflation. This follows a series of hikes since November 2021 and indicates the central bank's willingness to prolong its tightening cycle in response to persistent inflationary pressures and a tight labour market. Economists now predict that the bank may eventually raise rates to as high as 5.75%.
