What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Bank of England raised Bank Rate by 25 basis points, bringing it to 4%. The decision was reached by an 8–1 vote, with Catherine Mann being the sole dissenter. Mann argued that a larger 50 basis point increase was necessary. The Bank also revised its inflation outlook, expecting CPI to rise towards 5% by the middle of next year.
