The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) aims to achieve a 2% inflation target while supporting growth and employment. On November 6, 2024, it voted 8-1 to cut the Bank Rate by 25 pb to 4.75%. While inflation has been easing, domestic pressures remain persistent. CPI inflation fell to 1.7% in September but is expected to rise to 2.5% by year-end due to energy price comparisons. Wage growth remains high, though GDP growth is slowing. The MPC's projections suggest CPI inflation will return to target over the medium term, with a gradual approach to easing policy remaining appropriate to ensure inflation risks subside.
