Biggest interest rate rise in 33 years … but smaller increases expected from here

In this speed read we closer at last weeks interest rate rise and what this could mean going forward.

On Thursday 3rd November 2022, the Monetary Policy Committee voted to raise interest rates by a further 0.75 percentage points to take interest rates in the UK to 3%. This is the biggest increase in 33 years to try and curb inflation.
Only last month, the prediction was that UK interest rates would rise by 1 percentage point in November, so the increase is smaller than the housing market was previously expecting as sentiment has calmed after the change of Chancellor and Prime Minister.
The HM Treasury Consensus Forecasts for 2023 anticipate inflation averaging 4.1% as a central scenario. Making a big change now should help limit the size of any further interest rate increases.
Oxford Economics expects interest rates to continue to rise gradually from here and peak at 4% in 2024 before falling by a percentage point each year thereafter to 1.75% by 2027.
