Jobs market - not Brexit - to blame for UK being inflation outlier, Bank of England boss says
Wednesday, 28 June 2023 The governor of the Bank of England, which has raised interest rates to a 15-year high, has said the UK labour market and not Brexit is to blame for stubbornly high inflation.

The Bank of England has voted to keep interest rates unchanged, but showed what was perhaps the clearest sign in years that cuts could come in the months ahead. Bank governor Andrew Bailey said the economy is “not yet at the point” where rates can be lowered, but things are “moving in the right direction”. For the first time since September 2021, no-one on the nine-person decision-making body that sets interest rates voted for an increase.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announces UK inflation fell to the lowest level in more than two years, to 3.4%. He would not be drawn on whether the fall would allow him to announce pre-election tax cuts in an autumn statement. Mr Hunt said: “What I’m really saying is that as inflation gets closer to its target, that opens the door for the Bank of England to consider bringing down interest rates, that brings down mortgage rates, that makes a very big difference.
