Bank of England maintains interest rates at 5.25% amidst economic slowdown
TL;DR Summary
The Bank of England has decided to keep interest rates unchanged at 5.25%, the highest level since 2008, as the UK economy slows. The bank believes that previous rate rises will be sufficient to bring inflation back to the government's 2% target. However, financial markets are predicting five interest rate cuts by the Bank of England next year, while the US Federal Reserve has signaled it will cut rates three times in 2023.
