    If you allowed fracking as liz truss tried to do , fuel prices would be under control and gas prices. This means manufacturers and suppliers can reduce costs etc etc. Fuel costs pushed inflation up which pushed up interest rates! Rishi stopped fracking 2 days after getting into power unelected btw. He had 820mil in wealth I guess he laughing now he and his rich MPs got their pockets filled they are laughing looking to retirement.

    This is an internal Israeli issue. The "international community" needs to mind it's own business…

    We are only raising rates because the yanks are! Inflation isn't being caused by the UK population! The cost of food going up doesn't warrant a rate raise! It's not rocket science!

    Hear me out… But maybe its the massive transfer of wealth to the rich, thats driving inflation? Maybe its them that are spending hard? Maybe the gov could tax them to reduce inflation, instead of rate raises….
    Or maybe to much money has been printed 😂

    Longer g7+ goes down this path without tax cuts and deregulation the worse it'll get.
    It'll cause the biggest swing right that we've ever seen and it's only a matter of time.
    Fighting a supply side issue with demand side tools is the opposite of what should have been done.

    Printing vast amounts of cash calling it quantive easing equals inflation

    So, because of energy price rises everyone is experiencing higher prices. And the BoE's answer is to make-people-pay-more because their mortgage and business loan repayments are higher? Stellar.

    How does increasing intrest repayments to farmers solve food inflation? It just increases costs, pushes them out of business and makes the problem worse.

    Another economist who doesn't seem to know what he is talking about! Interest rates are risen by central banks (who no longer control the commercial banks in the UK) in order to make it more attractive to the global financial market to lend money, but not too high to make the UK economy look bad. If the market thinks the economy is bad, it will expect interest rates to increase in order to justify the risk of holding UK debt. UK debt is so large that the interest the govt is paying is very big (and getting bigger). Debt to GDP is about 97%?

    I often think economists are still stuck in the 70s mindset, when international markets and gilts were not as important as today. And govt debt wasn't astronomical.

    Printed £16 billion last month to borrow to the government, as long as we print money 💰 inflation stays high , so stop lying 🤥🙈

    they could put the rate up to 20%, it still wouldn't significantly lower inflation. People are not voluntarily spending more money on non-essentials, they are spending more money on essentials.Text book fiscal and economic rules went out the window in 2008.

    Inflation will continue to rise due to currency creation, not opinion; just fact
