flag UK inflation rose to 3.4% in December, prompting expected interest rate stability at 3.75%.

flag UK interest rates are expected to stay at 3.75% as inflation rose to 3.4% in December, driven by higher tobacco duties and airfares, marking the first increase in five months. flag Despite a downward trend since its peak, the rebound has led economists to predict a near-certainty of no rate cut, with concerns over persistent wage growth and inflation becoming entrenched. flag The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee is likely to hold steady, delaying any further easing until at least April, pending further data, especially on pay settlements.
