Favour over the past month. Weve seen sterling rise that will help temper the Price Pressures from imports. Weve also seen other pressures in the markets where theyve been raising some questions about the Bank Of Englands credibility, as in Mortgage Rates going up without decisions being made that has all calmed down, too. And the public s expectations of where inflation is going, which were really very high, have now begun to temper. So thats also going in the banks favour. But a crucial issue is that they have raised rates by 5 the impact of that has really taken some time to filter through into the economy, there is sort of turning the type of rate rises on. Turning the tap. We are beginning to see the impact of that now weve seen in the Housing Market, weve seen it in some corporate insolvencies too.

I think, from last Bank Of England became, where they moved a 50 basis points, that was taken as a really big jump in rates. Since that decision, we have seen some improvement in inflation numbers. There were still some calming for a 50 basis point change, but i think that this was more of the consensus. As you say, the balance between trying to get inflation under control, because lets not forget, that also makes people poorer in the long run, and also, making sure that there is not too much damage done to there is not too much damage done to the economy is a Balancing Act that they have to play. And, if you watch some of the comments Andrew Bailey made after the meeting, there were some pretty negative outlook in terms of gdp and the general gross scenario for the uk. Scenario for the uk.
