🔴 The Bank of England has kept interest rates unchanged at 3.75% for the third time in a row — while warning that higher inflation could become unavoidable.
Why? Rising geopolitical tensions and increasing energy costs. Forecasts suggest that electricity and heating bills could rise by as much as 16%, reaching around £1,900 per year. Food prices are also expected to increase by up to 7% before the end of the year.
The Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, described the decision as an “active pause” while the bank monitors the economic situation closely. In a worst-case scenario, inflation could rise to as much as 6% by early 2027.
It’s another reminder of how global events directly impact everyday life and household finances.
