UK interest rates are reviewed monthly by the Bank of England's Monetary
Policy Committee (MPC). The MPC is under pressure to respond to falling house
prices and a weakening economy by cutting rates but its main responsibility is
to use interest rates to control inflation. With world wide record oil and food
prices pushing UK inflation up the MPC may be unable to cut rates significantly
for some time. In some ways the Bank of England Lending rate is less important
than the rates banks use to lend to each other. The credit crunch has resulted
in mortgage rates rising despite cuts in the Bank of England rate, the good news
for savers is that very high savings rates are available for anyone who shops
around. See the My Money
Jungle Blog for good savings rates available on line.
