What happened
The Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates four times over the next year, potentially moving from 3.75pc to 4.75pc by July next year, driven by soaring energy prices and a resilient economy. The Bank of England Governor also discussed the wider economic outlook, expressing concern over economic uncertainty and the hospitality sector.
Why it matters
The surprise 0.4pc growth in Britain’s economy in July suggests that interest rates may not be as restrictive as previously thought. Separately, Andy Burnham has proposed an interventionist approach to housing, including tax reform and devolution of policy.
