 <p>Unlike the U.S. Federal Reserve or the European Central Bank – which also both raised rates by a quarter-point last week – the BoE’s Monetary Policy Committee gave little suggestion that rate hikes were about to end as it battles high inflation.</p>

 <p>“The MPC will ensure that Bank Rate is sufficiently restrictive for sufficiently long to return inflation to the 2% target,” the BoE said in new guidance about the outlook for rates. “Some of the risks of more persistent inflationary pressures may have begun to crystallize,” it added.</p> 
 <p>British inflation hit a 41-year high of 11.1% last year and has fallen more slowly than elsewhere, dropping to 7.9% in June, the highest of any major economy. Economists polled by Reuters last week forecast BoE rates would peak at 5.75% later this year. The BoE’s forecasts were based on recent market assumptions – which have now eased somewhat – that rates would peak at over 6% and average nearly 5.5% the over the next three years.</p> 
 <p>Policymakers voted 6-3 for the increase but were split three ways on the decision for the first time this year. Two MPC members – Catherine Mann and Jonathan Haskel – voted for a half-point increase this month, while Swati Dhingra voted for no change, as she has all this year, warning of overtightening.</p>

 <p>The BoE forecast inflation would fall to 4.9% by the end of this year – a faster decline than it had predicted in May. This will relieve Prime Minister <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Rishi Sunak" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/rishi-sunak.html">Rishi Sunak</a>, who pledged in January to halve inflation this year, a goal that had looked challenging.</p>

 <p>The British pound took the downside as soon as the news was out. Within one hour of the announcement, the pound fell from&nbsp; 1.266 to 1.264. Wednesday saw an early attempt by the British pound to rise during the day, but it turned around and is now drifting sharply down.</p>
